## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:23:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies nova-fx-plus.xyz as a domain linked to generic phishing activities. The site was promoting itself under the name "Nova Fx plus Trade Digital Center - Leveraging Artificial Intelligence," potentially targeting users interested in digital trading platforms. Based on its classification, the domain exhibited characteristics commonly associated with phishing scams aimed at harvesting sensitive user data.

Technical indicators reveal that nova-fx-plus.xyz was registered on July 1, 2025, through OwnRegistrar, Inc., and resolved to IP address 192.3.190.186. VirusTotal flagged this domain with 2 detections out of 95 security vendors, and it appeared on one security blocklist, suggesting some community or automated detection of suspicious behavior. The low number of flags indicates a limited but credible risk profile. The domain’s infrastructure and naming conventions align with typical phishing tactics that mimic legitimate trading platforms to lure victims.

Currently, nova-fx-plus.xyz is offline, which reduces immediate risk but does not guarantee safety for users who may have visited it previously. PhishDestroy recommends refraining from engaging with this domain, especially avoiding any submission of personal or financial information. Users should remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of any trading platforms, particularly those that appear newly registered and flagged by security services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       0b1e79bcab48bf68215e6da2241c6f390f2dae6f8f7f56d8daccfb3b1e72e39c

## 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.
