Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
take-papertrade.xyz presents itself as a "papertrade" rewards platform, luring cryptocurrency users with a fabricated rewards or proposal event. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-13, just two days after the domain was registered on 2026-10-11. The site is classified as a crypto wallet drainer and carries a Spamhaus DBL_PHISH designation. As of 2026-10-18 the DNS is inactive, meaning the site is no longer resolving, though the domain itself remains registered.
How the scam works
Wallet drainers work by convincing visitors to connect their cryptocurrency wallet to what appears to be a legitimate rewards or airdrop page. Once connected, the site presents a transaction for the victim to approve — framed as claiming a reward or accepting a proposal — but the transaction actually grants the drainer contract permission to transfer tokens or NFTs out of the wallet. The page title "papertrade - rewards date proposal" fits this pattern precisely, using the promise of a reward event to manufacture urgency. The victim loses control of their assets the moment they sign the malicious approval.
Evidence
Detection coverage is currently limited: on 2026-10-13, only 1 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, that being alphaMountain.ai. Despite low antivirus coverage, the site appears on three authoritative blocklists — PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL — and Spamhaus classifies it as DBL_PHISH. The MetaMask and SEAL listings are particularly significant because they directly protect wallet users at the point of transaction.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-11 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was weaponised within two days. It is hosted on Cloudflare's network with a Canadian-located IP address of 104.21.22.61. TLS was provisioned through Let's Encrypt / YE1, a free and automated certificate authority commonly used where rapid, low-cost deployment is needed.
What to do
If you visited this site but did not connect a wallet, no immediate action is required beyond clearing your browser cache. If you connected a wallet, immediately open a trusted tool such as Revoke.cash or your wallet's built-in approval manager and revoke any permissions granted to unfamiliar contracts. If you signed a transaction, assume your exposed assets are at risk and move remaining funds to a fresh wallet address without delay. Security teams and wallet providers should ensure take-papertrade.xyz and any associated infrastructure are blocked at the DNS and application layer.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
