# PhishDestroy threat dossier — app-nansen.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 07:14:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/app-nansen.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 66/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 147.45.45.64 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS205775 NEON CORE NETWORK LLC Hosting org: Partner Hosting LTD Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ns1.globaldomaingroup.com, ns2.globaldomaingroup.com Registered: 2026-04-09 Page title: Nansen | Crypto & Defi Analytics ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b99b1abe87132691ac5e3cea3c76fa0c2dcfec7b1da25448dc19d32321ccf1cf Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.app-nansen.co ## 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: 2026-04-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-09 05:28:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-09 02:29:50 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d7010-d4ca-73ac-8d58-776427317667/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9ec53836-520c-49e2-82e7-101387f70b7d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-nansen.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-nansen.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-nansen.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-nansen.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-nansen.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-09 05:29:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy’s automated pipeline has flagged app-nansen.co as an active crypto-drainer phishing domain that masquerades as a legitimate service to trick users into connecting crypto wallets and approving malicious transactions. No specific brand is being impersonated in the observed telemetry; instead the domain operates as a standalone fraudulent application front-end, suggesting the actors are running a generic but still-evolving drainer kit. The infrastructure is new and lightweight, relying on a single-page obfuscated JavaScript payload that requests wallet signatures before redirecting victims to a fake “transfer in progress” screen while assets are silently drained. Technical indicators for this domain include a VirusTotal score of 0 detections out of 95 engines as of the last scan, registration through Global Domain Group LLC, resolution to IPv4 address 147.45.45.64, and issuance of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on March 31, 2026, and currently remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing and most public blocklists, giving it a clean external reputation score despite its malicious intent. app-nansen.co is currently categorized as active and under investigation by PhishDestroy. Analysts have added the domain and associated IP to internal watchlists and are performing continuous SSL-certificate and DNS-behavior correlation to identify related infrastructure. Until a definitive verdict is reached and block rules are deployed enterprise-wide, organizations are advised to block traffic to both the domain and the IP, inspect any outbound TLS connections to unusual user-agent strings, and remind users to manually verify destination URLs before approving wallet transactions. Remaining risk is moderate due to the recent creation date and low AV coverage, but the absence of observed detections indicates the campaign may expand rapidly in the coming days. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260409-85DB46 Favicon MD5: 330580f60bf41a5f9ee0cea889f5ab6b TLS cert SHA-256: b99b1abe87132691ac5e3cea3c76fa0c2dcfec7b1da25448dc19d32321ccf1cf ## 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/app-nansen.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-nansen.co 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.
