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: 2025-11-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-12 22:19:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:21:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 00:00:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b14a5-69d6-75be-ad32-447d8178a644/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nodeweg.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nodeweg.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nodeweg.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nodeweg.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nodeweg.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 20:44:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nodeweg.com — BTC Pledge Phishing Domain Report This domain, nodeweg.com, is flagged as a phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users under the pretext of a 'BTC Pledge' scheme. Registered on November 11, 2025, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., the domain resolved to IP 188.114.97.3, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure (AS13335) in the US. The site was taken offline prior to analysis, but historical data indicates it was operational under Cloudflare protection, utilizing Amazon Web Services and CloudFront for content delivery, alongside HTTP/3 for performance optimization. Detection by 16 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and inclusion on one security blocklist confirm its malicious classification. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), does not mitigate the risk, as phishing domains commonly use valid certificates. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed phishing threat, particularly for cryptocurrency-related fraud. The page title 'BTC Pledge' suggests an attempt to deceive users into transferring Bitcoin under false pretenses, though the exact mechanics of the scam remain unconfirmed due to the site's offline status. Infrastructure analysis reveals reliance on bulletproof hosting and CDN services, a common tactic to evade takedowns. Security teams are advised to block the domain at DNS and proxy levels, monitor for related subdomains or IP reuse, and alert users to the 'BTC Pledge' lure. No evidence links this domain to a specific phishing kit or broader campaign, but the combination of cryptocurrency targeting and Cloudflare hosting aligns with trends observed in financially motivated phishing operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4eb17d7135224c9579524401c64f368591b92071b110a6b4b830e6967d608c77 ## 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/nodeweg.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nodeweg.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.
