# PhishDestroy threat dossier — novaweb3labs.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 20:18:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/novaweb3labs.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 66.45.23.60 (US, Portland) ASN: AS19853 OrangeHost Hosting org: OrangeHost Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: ns1.orangehost.com, ns2.orangehost.com Registered: 2026-02-22 Page title: Home - NovaWeb3 Labs - your gateway to web3 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6d5557ae87e792c9b31437cff7f55c410a61e7f49ffed76e2840ffd6e9c80bc7 ## 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: 2026-02-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 06:22:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-25 03:23:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-06 19:59:52 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:34:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc2a8-5790-74ab-b7ca-6f63e721e7ab/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0ac86ede-7aa6-4977-9c69-651ac47a8380 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/novaweb3labs.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.novaweb3labs.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=novaweb3labs.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/novaweb3labs.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/novaweb3labs.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 06:23:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies novaweb3labs.com as an active phishing domain distributing counterfeit cryptocurrency mining software under the guise of legitimate Web3 tools. The site masquerades as a professional blockchain development hub, luring users into downloading malicious mining clients that exfiltrate wallet credentials and mining profits. Current risk classification remains under investigation pending further behavioral analysis; however, initial indicators suggest an elevated threat due to active distribution vectors and deceptive branding. Technical analysis reveals significant red flags across multiple vectors. VirusTotal currently flags the domain with 0/95 detections, indicating it remains undetected by mainstream security solutions despite reported malicious activity. The domain was registered on February 22, 2026 through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar with low trust scores for domain reputation. Infrastructure points to a single IP address (66.45.23.60) hosting the phishing content, which recently obtained an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to enhance credibility. Notably, no entries appear across current threat intelligence feeds or URL blocklists, suggesting this represents a newly deployed campaign with minimal historical fingerprinting. Security teams should implement immediate mitigation measures targeting both technical and user awareness vectors. Organizations should blacklist 66.45.23.60 and novaweb3labs.com at the network perimeter, while instructing users to avoid downloading any cryptocurrency mining software from unverified sources. Given the domain's fresh registration and low detection rates, heightened monitoring for related infrastructure (particularly new domains registered through TuringSign Inc.) is strongly recommended. Users who may have interacted with the site should assume credential compromise across all digital assets and initiate immediate wallet resets and key rotation protocols. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260425-5828BE Favicon MD5: a5b342765ec9360e6c6e3bdaa14f1891 TLS cert SHA-256: 6d5557ae87e792c9b31437cff7f55c410a61e7f49ffed76e2840ffd6e9c80bc7 ## 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/novaweb3labs.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=novaweb3labs.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.
