TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Brand Impersonation

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      192.64.119.166 (US, Atlanta)
ASN:             AS22612 Namecheap, Inc.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-13 17:48:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-13 17:45:53 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 16:20:39 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 00:25:27 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

nxlog.tech — Brand Impersonation Phishing Report

The domain nxlog.tech has been identified as a high-risk brand impersonation phishing site targeting users of the legitimate NXLog log management platform. Analysis indicates this domain was designed to deceive victims into disclosing credentials or sensitive information under the pretense of security observability services. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively used for credential theft campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on June 13, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 192.64.119.166. It was flagged by 17 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on 3 security blocklists, and is referenced in 4 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. The page title, 'NXLog - Achieve complete security observability with powerful insights from your log data,' closely mimics the legitimate NXLog brand. Additional indicators include a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and blocking by PhishDestroy, OISD, and Maltrail.  The domain’s current offline status does not eliminate the risk of future reactivation or reuse of associated infrastructure. Organizations are advised to proactively block the domain and its resolved IP (192.64.119.166) at the perimeter. Security teams should monitor for any re-emergence of nxlog.tech or similar domains registered through the same registrar. End-users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, particularly in log management and security observability contexts. If credentials were entered on this domain, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication enforcement are recommended for affected accounts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 17/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
