NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-08-31
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 10ced5f89dad51e4d731d342af3edc83499dec1891481b48266183833f24ceb5

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:23:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:47:16 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 00:47:31 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:07:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies x-redirects-secure.com as a high-risk domain due to its involvement in credential phishing. 

This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Although specific details such as IP, creation date, and blocklists are not provided, the fact that it is still active and has been flagged by multiple security vendors indicates a significant threat. 

To mitigate the risks associated with credential phishing from x-redirects-secure.com, users should avoid providing sensitive information when prompted by unfamiliar websites, and verify the authenticity of websites before entering login credentials. Utilizing two-factor authentication and keeping software up to date can also help prevent unauthorized access. Given the high risk level of this domain, it is crucial for users to exercise extreme caution when interacting with x-redirects-secure.com

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-06-03
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      10ced5f89dad51e4d731d342af3edc83499dec1891481b48266183833f24ceb5

## 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.
