No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 06:33:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 21:34:06 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 06:34:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nexus.tools.aws.vodafone.com Fake Vodafone Alert The domain nexus.tools.aws.vodafone.com is currently active and has been observed serving HTTP responses with a status code of 200. Registration information ties the domain to Nom-iq Ltd. dba COM LAUDE, indicating a corporate registrar rather than a typical free‑service provider. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is delegated to Vodafone’s authoritative name servers (ns1.vodafone.com, ns3.vodafone.com, ns5.vodafone.com), which may be used to lend credibility to the host name. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing source has categorized it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate that the site has been scanned by 91 independent vendors; none of those vendors have generated a detection at the time of analysis. This lack of detection does not constitute evidence of benign behavior, as the absence of signatures may reflect limited coverage of the specific payload or evasion techniques. No public information is available regarding SSL/TLS configuration, IP address location, or hosting provider, and the page title or content has not been captured in the current intelligence set. Consequently, the exact nature of the phishing lure—whether it targets Vodafone customers, exploits AWS tooling, or serves another purpose—remains undefined. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk until further forensic evidence is collected. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the fully qualified domain name to web‑proxy deny lists, updating DNS filtering policies to block resolution, and monitoring outbound traffic for connections to the associated name servers. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑vendor platforms such as VirusTotal is advised to capture any future detections. Organizations using Vodafone services should alert users to verify any unsolicited communications that reference the nexus.tools. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a910d5af5b7b6b6e1747ee618854c436 TLS cert SHA-256: 7d226e586633ab32e76f3cbd2f61bf7670325d65ee736f3f757d80c7ad8f8329 ## 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.tools.aws.vodafone.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus.tools.aws.vodafone.com 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.
