Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Nicenic International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ben.ns.cloudflare.com, beth.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-09 Expires: 2027-04-09 Page title: Nexus Market | Nexus Darknet Official ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a2ba8b857c027242244d1f173d52680b424441aa69124a0c400536e952d0a048 ## 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: 2026-04-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-22 10:38:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-25 18:26:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4e9d-d77c-70c0-98bc-1787992b28f2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nexuscc.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nexuscc.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nexuscc.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nexuscc.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nexuscc.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-22 10:38:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence team has identified NexusCC.shop as a currently active cryptocurrency-themed phishing domain. This fraudulent website masquerades as a legitimate crypto investment platform to deceive users into depositing funds under false pretenses. The domain is categorized with an elevated risk level due to active exploitation in phishing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors. This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but present detection coverage. NexusCC.shop resolves to IP address 172.67.135.187 and utilizes a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt. The domain operates under the .shop generic top-level domain (gTLD) and was likely registered recently to support time-sensitive phishing operations. While specific registrar and creation date details are not disclosed, the domain’s low trust scores and minimal VirusTotal detections suggest a freshly deployed threat infrastructure designed to evade early detection. Given the active status of NexusCC.shop and its use in cryptocurrency fraud, users are strongly advised to avoid visiting or interacting with this domain. Organizations should consider blocking NexusCC.shop at the network perimeter using DNS filtering or firewall rules, especially for endpoints with access to financial or cryptocurrency platforms. Maintain heightened awareness of unsolicited communications promoting high-return crypto investments, and report any suspected engagement with phishing domains to your cybersecurity incident response team. Continuous monitoring is recommended, as actors behind such sites often re-register domains using slight variations to sustain campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ec6f3996928c849324e2b3994628ae96 TLS cert SHA-256: a2ba8b857c027242244d1f173d52680b424441aa69124a0c400536e952d0a048 ## 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/nexuscc.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexuscc.shop 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.
