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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 13:15:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 18:06:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019cc68f-c688-73f9-889e-1f428dfe01b6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nescry.trade crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nescry.trade Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nescry.trade AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nescry.trade URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nescry.trade/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:23:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nescry.trade as a generic phishing domain masquerading as a cryptocurrency trading and investment platform. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., and has been linked to fraudulent activity targeting users with promises of crypto asset management. This classification is based on its presence on security blocklists and detection by threat intelligence systems. Technical indicators reveal that nescry.trade resolved to the IP address 188.127.247.96 and was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It also appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, underscoring malicious activity associated with this infrastructure. The domain holds a very low trust score of 0 out of 100 according to Gridinsoft, further confirming its suspicious nature. The site’s page title, "Nescry.trade | Cryptocurrency trading and invest platform," was used to lure victims into believing it is a legitimate crypto service. Currently, nescry.trade has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, its registration details and historical activity warrant caution, as phishing campaigns often reemerge under similar names or different domains. Users are advised to avoid interaction with this domain and report any suspicious communications referencing nescry.trade. Continuous monitoring by security teams is recommended to prevent further exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 50ec41fb68191b157dc92d60c9123806 TLS cert SHA-256: c3713bd38a166dbcfce17146f09625543798be266da6108f8a669c0c8650343b ## 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/nescry.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nescry.trade 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.
