Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nasdaqmaxflc.com as an active credential theft domain leveraging brand impersonation to deceive users into surrendering sensitive login credentials. This domain mimics the branding of Nasdaq, a prominent financial services provider, to lend false legitimacy to its malicious infrastructure. While specific drainer kits or phishing templates remain unverified in open intelligence, the domain’s setup strongly suggests a targeted campaign aimed at financial sector users. The absence of visible obfuscation or advanced tooling does not diminish the threat—credential harvesting remains a direct path to unauthorized access and subsequent financial fraud. This domain exhibits several technical hallmarks consistent with malicious activity. Registered on May 12, 2026 through Name SRS AB, nasdaqmaxflc.com resolves to IP address 154.82.113.3 and utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to mask its communications under a veneer of legitimacy. VirusTotal analysis confirms detection by 10 out of 95 security vendors, indicating partial visibility but not universal protection. The domain is not currently flagged in Google Safe Browsing (GSB), and no blocklist count is publicly available. These indicators collectively point to a newly deployed, moderately evasive threat with limited but concerning detection coverage. As of the latest assessment, nasdaqmaxflc.com remains active and poses an elevated risk to users who may interact with it. Immediate defensive actions include DNS blocking of the domain and IP, flagging the domain in corporate blocklists, and user education to avoid unsolicited financial communications. While the threat is active, proactive measures such as network monitoring for outbound connections to 154.82.113.3 and SIEM correlation with credential theft IOCs can reduce exposure. Remaining risk hinges on user awareness and rapid dissemination of threat intelligence—delayed action increases the likelihood of successful compromise and downstream financial exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260518-D7A6BE Favicon MD5: 477643d1690c4c591a47145b6d0c419e ## 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/nasdaqmaxflc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nasdaqmaxflc.com 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.
