mail.novalink.markets is a "mail" subdomain on a .markets domain that PhishDestroy classifies as an impersonation phishing page aimed at crypto users. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-08-10. As of 2026-10-19 the host was still reachable, but DNS for its content was inactive, so the page is not currently served the way it was when it was caught.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages borrow the name, look or context of a service people already trust. They then ask visitors to log in, verify an account or connect a wallet, and anything entered goes to the operator. A mail-style subdomain on a markets-themed name fits that pattern: it invites people to believe they are on a legitimate trading or account portal. When last captured, the page title read "Default Web Site Page," a generic server placeholder that differs from the impersonation content behind our classification.
Evidence
Independent support is thin but real. On 2026-09-20, 4 of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar. That low count means most security tools will not warn a visitor, so a clean result from a browser or antivirus does not make this site safe. PhishDestroy is the only blocklist carrying it so far.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2025-08-31, almost a year before PhishDestroy detected it. Domains are often registered early and left unused before a campaign starts. It is hosted on Namecheap, Inc. infrastructure in the US, so registration and hosting sit with the same provider. Its Sectigo DV certificate only proves control of the domain, so the padlock says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you typed a password, email login or exchange credentials here, change them right away. Change them anywhere else you reuse them, then turn on app-based two-factor authentication and check for unfamiliar sessions or forwarding rules. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, revoke token approvals with a trusted approval checker and move remaining funds to a fresh wallet if you shared a seed phrase. Defenders should block the domain and its parent at DNS and proxy level and search mail and web logs for earlier contact. Because the content could return while the host stays up, keep the block in place.
For the registrable domain novalink.markets behind this subdomain, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
针对受害者的建议与指导
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
我应该立即采取什么措施？

更改所有密码 — 电子邮件、Exchange 账户，以及任何使用同一密码的账户
启用双因素认证 使用身份验证器应用（而非短信）。禁用基于短信的恢复功能
冻结卡片 如果您在钓鱼网站上输入了银行信息
我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
