Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that novaexbit.com poses a high-risk threat of brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Ethereum brand. This domain is designed to mislead users into believing it is associated with legitimate cryptocurrency operations, presenting content that encourages financial transactions involving Bitcoin and Ethereum. Given its active status and the usage of deceptive practices, users may be misled into providing sensitive financial information. The domain was created on July 3, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Despite the relatively recent creation date, it has been flagged for brand impersonation, with a detection count of only 1 out of 95 on VirusTotal. The current IP address for novaexbit.com is 104.21.14.86, indicating a hosted service that employs networks to obscure its origin. The page title further reflects its intent to mislead users about its offerings, highlighting the urgency of user awareness. If users have visited novaexbit.com, it is crucial they take immediate precautions. Users should avoid entering any personal or financial information and consider running antivirus scans on their devices. In addition, monitoring financial accounts for unusual activity is highly recommended. Reporting the site to appropriate authorities and security services can help mitigate the risks posed by this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e5415fedf5c3ad331118423c533abe65 TLS cert SHA-256: d2bf9ea7869d67673eabb0bd42453e5beb2de67f2b1a54102659f05b859116e7 ## 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/novaexbit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=novaexbit.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.
