Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: cosmin.ns.cloudflare.com, lisa.ns.cloudflare.com Page title: NOWA – AI-Powered Crypto Price Prediction Platform | Predict & Earn with $NOW Token ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: SSL Corporation / Cloudflare TLS Issuing ECC CA 3 Expires: 2026-05-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2e8e2658efbbdeaade54fa31952abc406002b29ef3b196c4bccbeda669df225e ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-11-16 02:54:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:27:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a8a95-5e62-732a-b5d9-fae797f733ca/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nowa.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nowa.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nowa.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nowa.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nowa.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 17:03:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nowa.finance as a low-risk crypto drainer domain exploiting Wallet Connect abuse techniques. The site masquerades as an AI-powered crypto price prediction platform promoting the $NOW token, aiming to lure users into compromising their wallets. This domain resolves to IP address 198.18.20.241 and is registered via Cloudflare, Inc., adding a layer of anonymity. It is currently flagged on one security blocklist, with VirusTotal detecting suspicious activity from a single vendor. The infrastructure supports wallet draining operations through known Wallet Connect exploitation kits. nowa.finance remains active, continuing to pose a threat to unsuspecting cryptocurrency holders. Users are advised to refrain from interacting with this site and to maintain strict security measures for their digital wallets. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring related domains and reporting any suspicious activity tied to this platform. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 7f9be301cced438bc55d1168347b5083ad95e7d706fec76ae91be307994ca0c6 TLS cert SHA-256: 2e8e2658efbbdeaade54fa31952abc406002b29ef3b196c4bccbeda669df225e ## 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/nowa.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nowa.finance 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.
