# PhishDestroy threat dossier — neptune-exchange.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 13:03:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/neptune-exchange.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, ESET, G-Data Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 87.120.219.250 (GB, London) ASN: AS215540 GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS LLP Hosting org: Global Connectivity Solutions LLP Registrar: Hello Internet Corp Nameservers: ns-cloud-d1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-d2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-d3.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-d4.googledomains.com Registered: 2026-01-20 Expires: 2027-01-20 Page title: Cryptocurrency Exchange Worldwide | Neptune Exchange ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3156b8090becc4339b1d05231ed94a191b0a692b4a396ede5d3fff06214bfa6f Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.neptune-exchange.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: 2026-01-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 09:24:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 07:32:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 12:16:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1242-f5e8-735c-b210-178f47d5f884/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/63d7252e-9e8c-4fd5-afeb-a810ed720cc1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/neptune-exchange.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.neptune-exchange.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=neptune-exchange.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/neptune-exchange.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/neptune-exchange.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 09:35:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, neptune-exchange.com, is currently active and flagged as a credential theft site specifically targeting cryptocurrency exchange users. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest login credentials, private keys, or wallet recovery phrases under the guise of a legitimate cryptocurrency trading platform. No direct brand impersonation of a major exchange (e.g., Binance, Coinbase) has been confirmed, but the domain mimics generic exchange infrastructure to deceive users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 20, 2026, through Hello Internet Corp, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 87.120.219.250, which has been linked to prior malicious activity in threat intelligence feeds. As of the latest assessment, the domain is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a relatively low detection rate that may indicate evasion techniques or recent deployment. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and fraudulent sites due to its free and automated issuance process. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores from major reputation services (e.g., Google Safe Browsing, Cisco Talos) have been recorded at this time. The current status of neptune-exchange.com remains active, with no takedown or mitigation efforts observed. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with the domain, particularly entering credentials or connecting wallet addresses. Organizations should consider blocking the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent access. Cryptocurrency users should verify exchange legitimacy by cross-referencing official domains and enabling multi-factor authentication on all accounts. If credentials or funds were exposed via this domain, immediate revocation of access and migration to a secure wallet is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-38B9D8 Favicon MD5: c4327d2c6dbe628e2f3bbc48d23a83a3 TLS cert SHA-256: 3156b8090becc4339b1d05231ed94a191b0a692b4a396ede5d3fff06214bfa6f ## 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/neptune-exchange.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=neptune-exchange.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.
