Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nodeactivate.com Fake Account Takeover Alert The domain nodeactivate.com was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu on June 30, 2025 and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.89.220. The host resides in the United States and is announced by AS53667 FranTech Solutions. An active TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (identifier YE1) protects the site, and HTTP requests return a 200 status code with the page title “Account Suspended.” Infrastructure analysis indicates that the domain is listed on five security blocklists, specifically PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. VirusTotal scans show that three out of ninety‑five security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. The threat type is cataloged as generic_phishing with a high risk rating, and the associated scam category is an account takeover, suggesting attempts to harvest credentials or manipulate victim accounts. While the observable data confirms active hosting, a valid SSL certificate, and multiple blocklist entries, the exact payload or phishing page content has not been publicly disclosed. The page title "Account Suspended" does not provide direct evidence of credential‑collection mechanisms, and no additional indicators such as login forms or redirect URLs have been observed. Consequently, the full scope of the campaign’s tactics remains partially unknown. Defenders should prioritize immediate blocking of nodeactivate.com at network perimeters and update endpoint protection signatures to incorporate the three VirusTotal detections. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the associated IP address and the registrar’s name servers is advised, as is the inclusion of the domain in threat‑intel feeds. Given the high risk classification and confirmed presence on multiple blocklists, organizations should treat any communications referencing nodeactivate.com as malicious and advise users to avoid interaction with the site. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7ff800e9d90fb7a28e94735fbe2d9079fedd084c253c68e4b7289878a7893700 ## 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/nodeactivate.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nodeactivate.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.
