Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] accounts.binance-ads.com poses a brand impersonation threat by mimicking the popular Binance name. This type of threat aims to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Binance platform, potentially leading to theft of credentials, financial loss, or exposure to further scams. Because it closely imitates Binance branding, users might be tricked into providing sensitive information or clicking malicious links. PhishDestroy’s analysis shows that accounts.binance-ads.com was created recently on July 02, 2025, which is a common tactic among fraudulent domains to appear fresh and avoid detection. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.199.99 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear secure and trustworthy. The domain is registered through WEBCC, a registrar sometimes linked to deceptive registrations. Importantly, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 antivirus engines, meaning it has not yet been flagged as malicious, which increases its risk to unsuspecting users. The status of the domain is currently active and under investigation. If you have visited accounts.binance-ads.com, it is critical not to enter any personal or financial information on this site. Avoid logging in or providing credentials and monitor your accounts for unusual activity if you did. Users should verify URLs carefully and access Binance only through official channels. Reporting this domain to security teams or anti-phishing services can help protect others from falling victim. Remain vigilant for brand impersonation attempts as they continue to evolve and evade detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260331-EB4F44 Favicon MD5: 43365839589fc348172246e108c1297c ## 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 (volunteer 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/accounts.binance-ads.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=accounts.binance-ads.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
