Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] academy-binance.pro — Phishing Investigation Report The domain academy-binance.pro was registered on July 21, 2025 through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc and is currently resolved to the IPv4 address 216.120.147.200. Authoritative name servers for the zone are ns100.webnic.cc and ns101.webnic.cc, both operated by the same registrar. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one security organization has observed malicious activity associated with it. VirusTotal analysis shows that one of ninety‑five scanned vendors flagged the domain, providing a modest but non‑trivial indication of suspicious behavior. No additional public threat‑intel sources such as Google Safe Browsing, AlienVault OTX, or community‑reported indicators were found in the supplied data. Likewise, details on SSL/TLS configuration, HTTP response codes, page title, or trust‑score metrics were not disclosed, limiting the ability to assess the site’s surface‑level characteristics. Infrastructure analysis confirms that the hosting IP is not listed in any known benign cloud provider ranges, and the IP reputation remains unverified beyond the single blocklist entry. Defenders should add academy-binance.pro to their deny‑list policies, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its authoritative name servers, and enforce outbound filtering to block connections to the associated IP address. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑vendor platforms such as VirusTotal is recommended to capture any changes in detection status, and any observed phishing attempts targeting brand assets should be reported to the relevant abuse contacts and shared with threat‑sharing communities. ## 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 (operator 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/academy-binance.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=academy-binance.pro 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
