No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 15:30:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 13:31:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efef8-c206-71d1-95f0-138b85acd23a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8edde71f-e694-4098-83de-048bea33cef5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nexusforgeledger.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nexusforgeledger.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nexusforgeledger.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nexusforgeledger.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nexusforgeledger.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:34:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, nexusforgeledger.com, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Ledger, a hardware cryptocurrency wallet provider. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate Ledger services, likely for credential theft or unauthorized transaction manipulation. No explicit crypto drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage, but the domain’s structure and naming convention align with known brand impersonation tactics observed in prior Ledger-themed campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) with a geolocation attributed to the United States. It was registered on June 19, 2026, through MAT BAO CORPORATION, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The domain appears on a single blocklist (PhishDestroy), and no entries were found in Google Safe Browsing at the time of this report. Current status indicates the domain remains active, with no takedown actions observed. The low detection rate on VirusTotal and limited blocklist presence suggest the infrastructure is either newly deployed or employs evasion techniques to avoid automated detection. Users are advised to treat any communication or web interface associated with nexusforgeledger.com as malicious. Organizations should monitor for connections to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and consider implementing network-level blocks for the domain and its resolving infrastructure. Further investigation is required to determine the full scope of the campaign and potential ties to broader threat actor operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-A5895A TLS cert SHA-256: acf8227729c6b57d214e5b37e7d7a69438dc1f590925df34ea066667961f0b3e ## 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/nexusforgeledger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexusforgeledger.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
