# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nymexgrouq.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 06:36:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nymexgrouq.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 90/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, LevelBlue URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 154.86.20.24 (HK, Hong Kong) ASN: AS140227 Hong Kong Communications International Co., Limited Hosting org: Hong Kong Communications International Co., limited Registrar: Metaregistrar BV Nameservers: a.share-dns.com, a6.share-dns.com, b.share-dns.net, b6.share-dns.net Registered: 2026-03-29 Page title: NYMEX ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 370ec4c9aaaecacab333c781e9f93dd887ae468022655ddfcce195002193a14d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - pc.nymexgrouq.com - www.nymexgrouq.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: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 21:10:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-21 18:15:54 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:27:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db139-845d-76ca-a606-aedef32069a4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ff73b31f-8f28-4114-98ca-8dfa43282ffb Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nymexgrouq.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nymexgrouq.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nymexgrouq.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nymexgrouq.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nymexgrouq.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 21:12:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nymexgrouq.com is a recently activated domain that is actively luring victims into a credential-harvesting trap. The site mimics a legitimate financial portal, tricking users into surrendering login credentials or payment details. Once harvested, stolen data can be used for direct theft, account takeover, or sold on underground markets. This domain is not affiliated with any real exchange and should be treated as hostile infrastructure. This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating emerging but unconfirmed malicious activity. It resolves to IP 154.86.20.24 and was registered on March 29, 2026 through Metaregistrar BV using a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for added legitimacy. Despite its young age, the combination of low detection rates and suspicious hosting raises the risk of successful deception among unsuspecting users. If you visited nymexgrouq.com and entered any information, immediately change passwords on all related accounts, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Do not click any links or download files from the site. Report the domain to your IT team or security provider, and consider running a full antivirus scan. When in doubt about a financial site, access it only through official bookmarks or verified domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-933C23 Favicon MD5: a82ebb91ebd7b49ea1500777e46263f2 TLS cert SHA-256: 370ec4c9aaaecacab333c781e9f93dd887ae468022655ddfcce195002193a14d ## 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/nymexgrouq.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nymexgrouq.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.
