Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active cryptocurrency phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate Nano (XNO) grant distribution portals. Analysis indicates the site likely targets recipients of legitimate Nano Foundation grants or airdrops, presenting fraudulent forms to harvest wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases under the guise of claiming funds. The domain mimics official grant verification processes, potentially including fake eligibility checks or KYC requirements to lend credibility to the scam operation. Given the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions, successful credential theft would result in immediate asset loss for victims, with funds transferred to attacker-controlled wallets without recourse for recovery. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain was registered on February 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with phishing and fraudulent domains. Security vendor detection on VirusTotal stands at 14/95, with engines flagging the domain for cryptocurrency-related phishing patterns. The site resolves to IP address 172.67.185.143 and employs Cloudflare services, including HTTP/3 and Browser Insights, likely to obfuscate hosting origins and monitor visitor behavior. A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provides HTTPS encryption, creating a false sense of security for potential victims. Additional technologies detected include Chart.js for data visualization and jsDelivr for content delivery, both commonly used in legitimate applications but repurposed here to enhance the scam's authenticity. Users who have visited grant-nanoeth.net or interacted with its content should immediately take containment actions. Any cryptocurrency wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases entered on the site must be considered compromised. Affected users should transfer remaining assets to a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase, ensuring no overlap with previously exposed credentials. Monitor all connected accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable enhanced security measures such as hardware wallet isolation and multi-signature requirements. Report the incident to relevant blockchain security teams and consider filing reports with cybercrime authorities to support broader takedown efforts. Network administrators should block the domain and associated IP address 172.67.185.143 at the perimeter to prevent further access attempts from within their environments. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b72a337e4b6f7bff5dafa273f4f3cc58 ## 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 (operator 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/grant-nanoeth.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grant-nanoeth.net 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
