## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:23:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies nexchain.exchange as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain impersonating the Nexchain AI Layer 1 Blockchain presale. This threat is designed to steal cryptocurrency assets by tricking users into interacting with malicious smart contracts or unauthorized wallet connections, potentially draining their funds. Vigilance is essential for users engaging in crypto presale offers to avoid financial loss.

The domain nexchain.exchange was registered on December 3, 2025, via Dynadot LLC and has been flagged on five security blocklists. It resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 during its active phase. The site used the Angel Drainer kit, known for automating the theft of crypto assets. While VirusTotal only flagged 4 out of 95 security vendors, the domain was taken offline promptly to curb further risk.

Users are strongly advised against visiting nexchain.exchange or connecting their wallets to any associated services. Always conduct thorough due diligence on crypto presales and use trusted platforms exclusively. If exposure is suspected, review wallet security measures and consider transferring assets to secure wallets immediately. Staying informed and cautious helps protect against evolving crypto drainer tactics like those deployed through nexchain.exchange.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-1769262741-nexchain.exchan
TLS cert SHA-256:      b38d676c61dbcf42f6b86b6b0819b683a7e47358476b82bd219ed8a550e58da3

## 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.
