# PhishDestroy threat dossier — novaexps.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-12 15:10:48 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/novaexps.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 37.49.229.75 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS3920 PUSHPKT OU Hosting org: ESTOXY OU Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.controlpanel.sbs", "ns2.controlpanel.sbs"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Nova Express - Logistics and Delivery ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d56c672b4af1d5deb5fdb02f6a1b5172d86f18405d50cf224e23be4d2340f5a Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - novaexps.com.skyroute-express.com - www.novaexps.com.skyroute-express.com ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 10:13:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 07:13:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-09 07:34:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 16:55:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd2ed-fcf4-744f-a985-7bc36384a034/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bf4d237b-99bf-419c-9a6f-a90f376344f7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/novaexps.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.novaexps.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=novaexps.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/novaexps.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/novaexps.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 10:14:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies novaexps.com as an active credential theft domain currently impersonating Microsoft 365 login interfaces. Security teams should treat this domain as a high-priority threat due to its active status and potential for harvesting corporate credentials. Immediate defensive actions are required to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating limited but confirmed malicious activity. Registered through DYNADOT LLC, novaexps.com resolves to IP address 37.49.229.75 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for legitimacy. The domain was created on October 09, 2025, demonstrating recent and likely opportunistic registration aligned with current phishing campaigns. Notably, the infrastructure's trust scores remain critically low, with no established reputation across threat intelligence platforms. Given its elevated risk level and active status, novaexps.com poses an immediate threat to organizations relying on Microsoft 365 ecosystems. Defensive measures should include DNS blocking of the domain and IP address, revocation of the associated SSL certificate, and user awareness training to recognize credential phishing attempts. Security teams are advised to deploy endpoint detection rules targeting login pages mimicking Microsoft 365 interfaces and monitor for anomalous authentication patterns. Immediate containment is critical to prevent credential harvesting and subsequent account takeovers. 8daa39 ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-980164 Favicon MD5: 577007a4a15ed1c1a1e4e6a84f6f5cd0 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d56c672b4af1d5deb5fdb02f6a1b5172d86f18405d50cf224e23be4d2340f5a ## 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/novaexps.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=novaexps.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.
