nexionkey[.]com

nexionkey.com was registered on February 21 2026 through Global Domain Group LLC and is hosted on an IP address 198.251.83.106 that belongs to AS53667 FranTech Solutions in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are ns25.asurahosting.com and ns26.asurahosting.com. The site presented a page title “Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Nexion Key”, which directly references the Ethereum brand, and the threat classification is listed as a crypto scam. No TLS certificate was observed for the domain, meaning communications were unencrypted and likely served over HTTP only.

Google Safe Browsing flagged the domain for social engineering, and it appears on at least one public security blocklist as well as being listed in a single AlienVault OTX pulse. PhishDestroy has also taken the domain offline and added it to its blocklist. VirusTotal scans recorded 15 detections out of 93 scanning engines, indicating that a notable subset of security products consider the domain malicious. The combination of brand impersonation, lack of encryption, and multiple independent detections suggests a high probability of fraudulent activity targeting users seeking cryptocurrency services.

What remains unknown is the exact content that was served before takedown, any redirects used, and whether credential‑stealing or payment‑draining functionality was present. Defenders should continue to block the domain and its hosting IP at network perimeter and DNS filtering layers, monitor for re‑registration or similar domains using the same name servers or IP range, and add the observed indicators to threat‑intel feeds. Continuous verification of Google Safe Browsing and other reputation services is recommended to capture any future changes in the domain’s status.
