No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-28 19:51:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:28:24 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019faa13-b140-77cb-9af5-58b0775ef796/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nexus-dark.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nexus-dark.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nexus-dark.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nexus-dark.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nexus-dark.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 19:55:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nexus-dark.sbs Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis of nexus-dark.sbs indicates the domain was registered on July 25, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The authoritative name servers are adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating hosting on Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is part of Cloudflare's network. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that it has been identified as malicious by at least one reputable sinkhole. VirusTotal reports that 2 of 91 scanned security vendors flagged the domain, providing additional independent confirmation of malicious behavior. The domain is currently listed as active, and no evidence of remediation or takedown has been observed. Public threat intelligence sources such as Google Safe Browsing, OTX, or any SSL/TLS certificate data are not available for this domain, leaving those vectors unverified. Likewise, no page title, brand targeting, or content snapshots have been published, so the exact phishing lure employed cannot be determined at this time. The limited visibility of the hosting environment, combined with the recent creation date, suggests a short‑lived campaign that relies on rapid deployment and takedown avoidance. Defenders should add nexus-dark.sbs to their blocklists across perimeter firewalls, DNS filtering resolvers, and web proxies. Email security gateways should be updated to deny any URLs referencing this domain and to quarantine messages that contain the domain in links or attachments. Because the domain resolves through Cloudflare, monitoring outbound connections to IP 188.114.97.3 can help detect compromised clients attempting to reach the malicious site. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal or equivalent multi‑engine scanners is recommended to capture any changes in detection status. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-07-25 ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 27d1638c77a3a30fb9f827494290729a TLS cert SHA-256: b04858644ef08212bcc37a2be81c5b48cd864c87e79f4700569519992f4ecabf ## 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.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-dark.sbs 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.
