PhishDestroy identifies an active courier scam domain posing as Nelson Courier & Transport Services to deliver malware payloads to unsuspecting victims. The threat actor registers lookalike domains and lures users with fake shipping notifications, resume attachments, or invoice requests that silently download malicious executables when opened. This domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as of the latest scan, highlighting the stealthy nature of the campaign and the risk of delayed detection by automated defenses. This domain was registered on October 22, 2024 through COSMOTOWN, INC. and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7. The threat actor obtained a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance credibility and evade browser warnings. Despite low vendor detection, the domain’s recent creation and lack of established reputation make it a high-risk indicator. Users should treat any unsolicited courier-themed emails linking to this domain or its subpages as malicious and refrain from opening attachments or clicking embedded links. If you visited nelsoncourierandtransport.com or received related emails, immediately disconnect from the internet, scan your device with updated antivirus software, and check for signs of compromise such as unexpected processes, unauthorized data transmission, or new user accounts. Report the domain and any suspicious emails to your IT security team and local cybercrime unit. Block the domain at the network firewall and DNS level to prevent further exposure. Stay vigilant: this campaign may spawn new domains or shift infrastructure rapidly to sustain operations.
