Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is nexus-dark.cfd a phishing site? Analysis of nexus-dark.cfd indicates that the domain was registered on July 25, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently hosted on the IP address 172.67.177.157, which is served by Cloudflare name servers adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, confirming the use of a legitimate certificate authority but offering no guarantee of benign intent. VirusTotal records show that two of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, and the domain appears on a single external blocklist. PhishDestroy has also listed the domain as blocked, and the overall status is reported as active. The limited detection count and single blocklist entry suggest that the malicious infrastructure is relatively new, consistent with the registration date only three days prior to the report. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk given its classification as a generic phishing campaign, the active status, and the presence of detections. Recommended actions include adding the domain and its resolving IP to network deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare name servers, and configuring web filtering to block content from the certificate issuer if possible. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional detections may appear in future VirusTotal scans or blocklist updates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-7D6E21 Favicon MD5: a10167f5b34d763cda797edf9fda2292 TLS cert SHA-256: 699698e692d2ad91a7e025cab32fd3dd997361686c90c52194c8b553ec058dd9 ## 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 (operator 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/nexus-dark.cfd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-dark.cfd 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
