Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified nexchain.finance as a medium-risk phishing domain exploiting the guise of a legitimate financial service. The site’s page title deceptively uses "Google," potentially aiming to mislead users into believing they are interacting with a trusted platform. This domain is associated with generic phishing tactics designed to steal sensitive personal or financial information from unsuspecting victims. The domain nexchain.finance was registered on October 3, 2025, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolves to IP address 192.178.155.104 and has been flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appears on two distinct security blocklists, indicating recognition by multiple threat intelligence sources. The infrastructure and registration details suggest a relatively new but actively monitored phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency or financial service users. Currently, nexchain.finance has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, PhishDestroy advises users and organizations to remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts and to verify URLs carefully before entering credentials. It is recommended to maintain updated security solutions and consult blocklists regularly to prevent exposure to such malicious domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e8972ce34a4545b33c3926a20c306b71 TLS cert SHA-256: a4327fb74f3129acf6a392046adae8ae6579cb29bec3ad228d3033b37535849e ## 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/nexchain.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexchain.finance 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.
