Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified nexus-iota-five.vercel.app as a medium-risk generic phishing domain. The site, titled "Business Nexus - Connect Entrepreneurs," appears designed to lure users into divulging sensitive information under the guise of business networking. Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.131 and has a very low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft. It is registered through Tucows Domains Inc. and has been flagged on three separate security blocklists. VirusTotal reports 9 out of 95 antivirus engines detect malicious activity associated with this domain, supporting concerns about its legitimacy. The domain was created recently on February 21, 2026. Currently, the domain remains active and continues to pose a threat to unsuspecting internet users. PhishDestroy advises caution and recommends that users avoid interacting with this domain or providing any personal or financial credentials to protect themselves from potential fraud. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 9/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338 ## 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/nexus-iota-five.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-iota-five.vercel.app 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.
