# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nelsoncourierandtransport.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 00:11:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nelsoncourierandtransport.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: COSMOTOWN, INC. Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com Registered: 2024-10-22 Page title: Nelson Courier and Transport – Experience speed and safety ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a7c91318a031f17472628ea3b2e995b6ea51490921f2dd3be6c015bc585e7d0c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.shop.nelsoncourierandtransport.com ## 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: 2024-10-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 23:59:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-22 21:00:07 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 00:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:35:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db6fc-945a-72f4-992b-a2fab42e3908/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1e034e24-724f-495d-b05a-221241c47234 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nelsoncourierandtransport.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nelsoncourierandtransport.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nelsoncourierandtransport.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nelsoncourierandtransport.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nelsoncourierandtransport.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 23:59:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active courier scam domain posing as Nelson Courier & Transport Services to deliver malware payloads to unsuspecting victims. The threat actor registers lookalike domains and lures users with fake shipping notifications, resume attachments, or invoice requests that silently download malicious executables when opened. This domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as of the latest scan, highlighting the stealthy nature of the campaign and the risk of delayed detection by automated defenses. This domain was registered on October 22, 2024 through COSMOTOWN, INC. and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7. The threat actor obtained a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance credibility and evade browser warnings. Despite low vendor detection, the domain’s recent creation and lack of established reputation make it a high-risk indicator. Users should treat any unsolicited courier-themed emails linking to this domain or its subpages as malicious and refrain from opening attachments or clicking embedded links. If you visited nelsoncourierandtransport.com or received related emails, immediately disconnect from the internet, scan your device with updated antivirus software, and check for signs of compromise such as unexpected processes, unauthorized data transmission, or new user accounts. Report the domain and any suspicious emails to your IT security team and local cybercrime unit. Block the domain at the network firewall and DNS level to prevent further exposure. Stay vigilant: this campaign may spawn new domains or shift infrastructure rapidly to sustain operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-8995BA Favicon MD5: a2f639851d0f097de40ae0e12b84c041 TLS cert SHA-256: a7c91318a031f17472628ea3b2e995b6ea51490921f2dd3be6c015bc585e7d0c ## 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/nelsoncourierandtransport.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nelsoncourierandtransport.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.
