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.
web3connectcenter.com is a crypto wallet drainer that impersonated WalletConnect, the widely used wallet connection protocol, to deceive cryptocurrency users into authorizing malicious transactions. PhishDestroy first identified the site on 2026-09-14, the same day the domain was registered, indicating it was built for immediate deployment. The site is now dead, with DNS going inactive on 2026-09-16 and confirmed offline as of 2026-10-18.
How the scam works
The site presented itself under the page title "Wallet connect", mimicking the legitimate WalletConnect interface to convince visitors they were using a trusted tool to link their crypto wallets to a decentralized application. Once a user connected their wallet, the drainer silently requested broad token approvals or triggered transactions designed to transfer assets out of the victim's wallet without obvious consent. This class of drainer can empty multiple token balances in a single session, leaving the victim with little recourse after the fact.
Evidence
Six of 89 engines on VirusTotal flagged web3connectcenter.com as malicious as of 2026-09-16, with detections from alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, and desenmascara.me. The domain appears on four OTX threat-intelligence pulses, reinforcing the classification. It is listed on the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL blocklists, and Spamhaus DBL classifies it as DBL_SPAM. The VirusTotal detection count is relatively low in absolute terms, which is common for drainer sites that are taken down within days of launch.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-14 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and routed through Cloudflare's network, with hosting attributed to Canada. TLS was issued by Let's Encrypt under the YE2 intermediate, a free certificate that requires no identity verification and is routinely used in short-lived fraud infrastructure.
What to do
If you visited this site and connected a wallet, immediately revoke all token approvals granted around the time of the visit using a reputable approval-checker tool, then transfer remaining assets to a fresh wallet address. Do not interact with any transaction requests that arrived after connecting. Security teams and wallet providers should ensure web3connectcenter.com is present in their blocklists and alert users who may have been redirected to it; the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL blocklists already carry the entry.

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.
