Verdict

Phishing site impersonating Portuguese bank novobanco to harvest login credentials

x-novobanco.com is a fake login portal that mimics the official novobanco bank website. It presents a credential-harvesting form asking for an 'adesão' membership number and PIN. Multiple antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious, and the site is not affiliated with the legitimate bank.

Do not enter any credentials. Close the page and visit the official novobanco.pt domain directly if you need to access your account.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Security vendor detections

14 out of 92 antivirus engines on the multi-engine malware scan classify the site as malicious.

12 independent antivirus families, including BitDefender and Emsisoft, report the domain as a threat.

Technical versus operator risk

The domain was registered only days ago and has no established history, consistent with throwaway phishing infrastructure.

The page displays a login form requesting an 'adesão' number followed by a PIN entered via virtual keyboard, matching the exact credential fields used by the real bank.

Real visitor flow

A visitor lands on the page and sees a branded login screen that appears to belong to novobanco.

They are prompted to enter their membership number and then their PIN using an on-screen keypad.

Any credentials entered are sent directly to the attackers rather than the legitimate bank.

Why the score is 5

12 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is x-novobanco.com a scam or a legit website?

x-novobanco.com shows every sign of being a phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing and clone site. 14 of 92 security engines flag it (14 as outright malicious). The domain is only 0 days old through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.

Is x-novobanco.com safe to use?

No — x-novobanco.com has a Safety Score of 5/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.

I already paid or entered my details on x-novobanco.com — what should I do?

If you've already paid or handed over details on x-novobanco.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on x-novobanco.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.

Can I get my money back from x-novobanco.com?

Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.

Did x-novobanco.com steal my password or personal information?

If you entered anything on x-novobanco.com, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.

How do I report x-novobanco.com?

You can report x-novobanco.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.

x-novobanco.com looks professional — how can it still be a scam?

Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.

Has x-novobanco.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 14 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged x-novobanco.com, 14 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is x-novobanco.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — x-novobanco.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

How old is the x-novobanco.com domain?

x-novobanco.com is 0 days old, registered on August 17, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.

Where is x-novobanco.com hosted?

x-novobanco.com resolves to an IP operated by Ghosty Networks LLC in LU (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the x-novobanco.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on August 17, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about x-novobanco.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
