No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 05:34:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 02:34:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-02 04:56:47 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019dccc7-632f-76df-9af9-42e3b1a248a2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/baad4067-35f8-45b1-83e0-3233106413ef Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 05:37:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev as a fraudulent crypto launchpad posing as NovaPad, a supposed multi-chain token launchpad. This domain currently hosts a deceptive interface designed to trick users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and approve malicious transactions. The threat actor behind this site is leveraging a spoofed branding strategy to impersonate a legitimate launchpad service, aiming to drain deposited tokens through hidden contract interactions or wallet-draining scripts embedded in the page. The page’s title, NovaPad - The Premier Multi-Chain Token Launchpad, suggests an intent to deceive users searching for legitimate launchpad platforms. With the rise of memecoin and token launch culture, such domains exploit trust in established services to facilitate financial theft and credential harvesting. Analysts investigating this domain have identified several red flags. The site resolves to IP address 216.150.16.129, a hosting infrastructure associated with multiple suspicious domains. VirusTotal analysis returns 0 out of 95 security engines flagging the domain — a common trait among newly deployed fraudulent sites before detection signatures are updated. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is often abused in early-stage phishing campaigns due to ease of issuance and lack of immediate vetting. While the exact domain creation date remains unverified, the absence of detections and fresh content suggests recent deployment. Further, this domain is currently not present on major threat intelligence feeds or blocklists, indicating it is actively being operated below radar. Users who have visited launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev or interacted with its interface are strongly advised to take immediate action. Disconnect any connected wallets using blockchain explorers or wallet interfaces to revoke unauthorized contract permissions. Clear browser cache and cookies to remove session tokens that may have been captured via hidden trackers or fake login prompts. Report any unauthorized transactions or wallet accesses to your wallet provider and file a complaint with local cybercrime units. PhishDestroy recommends scanning your device for malware and monitoring wallet addresses for suspicious outbound transfers. Always verify URLs, use hardware wallet signing for transactions, and cross-reference launchpad domains with official project websites or reputable aggregators like CoinGecko or DappRadar before interacting. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-D2645A TLS cert SHA-256: 8c746eed46a85cd27442a304b9d5962c37fac5224f1ce6da42f16c3a93fd7055 ## 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/launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=launchpad-demo.ndlabs.dev 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.
