# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nerd-mining.ltd ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-24 22:56:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nerd-mining.ltd/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- STATUS STALE — last probed 32 days ago, treat as ACTIVE until re-verified Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: coinbase (and: ethereum, google, tron) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, Netcraft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 195.35.39.45 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 14:20:02 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 23:04:36 UTC (STALE — 32 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 32 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 32 days stale) 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/019c4cf6-7d78-779c-941c-5434e7e6bd68/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e067c750-eb57-47bd-a4dc-36721f604801 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nerd-mining.ltd crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nerd-mining.ltd Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nerd-mining.ltd AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nerd-mining.ltd URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nerd-mining.ltd/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:20:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nerd-mining.ltd as a suspicious domain linked to phishing attempts. Phishing is a deceptive tactic where attackers impersonate legitimate services to steal sensitive information like passwords or financial details. Users who encounter such sites risk having their personal data compromised, leading to potential identity theft or financial loss. This domain was registered recently and flagged by multiple security tools, with 8 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors detecting malicious behavior. It also appeared on two security blocklists before being taken offline. The phishing scheme likely involved fake messages or notifications, as indicated by the page title "1 new message," to lure visitors into submitting confidential data. If you visited nerd-mining.ltd, it is important to immediately change any passwords that might have been entered and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Running a comprehensive malware scan on your device is also recommended. Always be cautious with unsolicited messages and verify website URLs before entering sensitive information to stay safe from phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-1EEF48 Favicon SHA-256: 6514bdbee6529aeb9ea50f635d4d71d744e5dcec9c85d8dfe39511021231acb7 ## 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/nerd-mining.ltd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nerd-mining.ltd 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.
