Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nexus-hub.cyou Phishing Infrastructure Alert Analysis as of July 28, 2026 indicates that the domain nexus-hub.cyou was registered on July 25, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses Cloudflare name servers adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting the infrastructure is hosted behind Cloudflare’s CDN and DDoS protection services. VirusTotal records show that the domain was examined by 91 scanning engines, none of which returned a detection at the time of the scan; this absence of detections does not constitute evidence of benign behavior. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is presently listed as blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing feed has flagged it as malicious. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, or SSL certificate details were provided, and no page title or brand targeting information has been disclosed, leaving the exact content of the site unverified. The classification as “generic phishing” derives from the supplied threat type, but the specific victim brand or lure remains unknown. Defenders should treat the domain as hostile: incorporate the fully qualified domain name and its resolving IP into web‑proxy and DNS filtering rules, ensure that outbound connections to 188.114.97.3 are monitored or denied, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare‑associated IP ranges and periodic re‑scans with multi‑engine services are recommended to detect any future changes in payload or hosting. Because the registration date is only three days prior to the report date, the infrastructure is likely newly deployed, and rapid propagation is possible. Organizations should also review user‑education materials for phishing awareness, as the lack of a visible brand target suggests the campaign may employ broad‑scale credential‑harvesting techniques. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-AC1439 Favicon MD5: a10167f5b34d763cda797edf9fda2292 TLS cert SHA-256: 7b26366f33d453ed20cc47e84ac1c0ded23e536f9a1a51163aecb0bff1f0261e ## 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-hub.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-hub.cyou 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.
