# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nexus-mutual.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 01:46:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nexus-mutual.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 159.198.39.111 (US, Phoenix) ASN: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Hosting org: Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com Registered: 2026-06-20 Expires: 2027-06-20 Page title: Nexus Mutual — Crypto Insurance Alternative ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-10-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6c83a249639d280b03c041ae4c1166548ede19d86013de76dfede3a49275dc0d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.nexus-mutual.net ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 21:38:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 00:30:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 00:01:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3e15-fbf3-73a0-9f16-12208eb53eb4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nexus-mutual.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nexus-mutual.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nexus-mutual.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nexus-mutual.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nexus-mutual.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:45:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, nexus-mutual.net, is flagged as an active brand impersonation scam designed to deceive cryptocurrency users. The site mimics a legitimate crypto insurance platform, presenting itself as a trusted alternative for securing digital assets. Analysis indicates the threat operates as a fake login portal, likely engineered to harvest credentials or deploy malicious scripts that drain wallets upon connection. Users who interact with the site risk immediate financial loss, as the infrastructure supports crypto-specific attack vectors, including wallet-draining malware or phishing kits tailored for decentralized finance (DeFi) environments. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 20, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent schemes. It resolves to the IP address 159.198.39.111 and is hosted on an Apache HTTP Server running Ubuntu, a configuration commonly exploited for phishing campaigns. Security vendors have flagged the domain in 6 of 95 VirusTotal scans, with detection engines such as Maltrail and BLP-Malware explicitly blocking it. The site also appears on two independent security blocklists, reinforcing its classification as a high-risk threat. The SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, is valid but does not mitigate the underlying malicious intent, as threat actors routinely use free certificates to lend a false sense of legitimacy. Users who have visited nexus-mutual.net or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential damage. First, disconnect any crypto wallets that may have been exposed and revoke all active sessions or connected dApps. Next, scan the device used to access the site with updated antivirus software to detect and remove any installed malware. Monitor all linked accounts, including email and exchange platforms, for unauthorized transactions or login attempts. If financial loss has occurred, report the incident to relevant authorities and the targeted platform’s abuse team. To prevent future exposure, verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources and avoid interacting with sites that lack verifiable contact information or exhibit suspicious infrastructure traits, such as recently registered domains or low VirusTotal detection counts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 04bb137d818c31c3a48a47b71aa20bfd TLS cert SHA-256: 6c83a249639d280b03c041ae4c1166548ede19d86013de76dfede3a49275dc0d ## 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-mutual.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-mutual.net 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.
