Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:21:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:37:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 20:25:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-09 17:11:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a5d-387d-7078-8464-bed031f4a77a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2670b3e8-1f28-4296-80f7-7525930dde1f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/winora.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.winora.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=winora.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/winora.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/winora.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:22:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies winora.cc as an active crypto drainer scam under investigation, posing an immediate threat to cryptocurrency users. This domain, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on February 27, 2026, resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, the domain’s recent creation date and lack of historical trust data suggest a high-risk profile. The absence of blocklist flags or community reports further underscores the need for proactive monitoring, as threat actors frequently exploit newly registered domains to evade detection. The technical indicators associated with winora.cc reveal a pattern consistent with credential harvesting and fund misappropriation campaigns. The domain’s registration through a privacy-focused registrar (NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED) and its association with IP 188.114.96.3—an address linked to multiple low-trust or malicious activities—raise significant red flags. The use of a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt is a common tactic to evade browser-based security warnings, while the zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95) highlight the challenge of early-stage threat identification. Additionally, the domain’s recency (registered in 2026) suggests it was likely created specifically for this campaign, leaving minimal historical data for behavioral analysis. To mitigate the risk posed by winora.cc, users must exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain or any associated links. Cryptocurrency users should verify the authenticity of websites through PhishDestroy’s real-time scanning tools before entering credentials or transferring funds. Organizations are advised to block IP 188.114.96.3 and monitor DNS resolutions for winora.cc to prevent internal exposure. Security teams should also consider reporting this domain to threat intelligence platforms to accelerate its inclusion in blocklists. Immediate action is critical, as crypto drainer scams often result in irreversible financial losses. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-A44254 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: 1963b67e148f215739cd10a04eb4d7321cebbd4a039eb466b6b7878a67a4c973 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/winora.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=winora.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
