PhishDestroy’s intake AI classified the page as malicious because it impersonates Binance, using the brand name and offering registration and app download, a pattern linked to credential theft. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-21, when an HTTP 200 response returned the recorded title “币安Binance官网入口｜币安注册 币安交易所”.
How the scam works
Fake exchange pages copy the visual design of a legitimate platform and present login or sign‑up forms to capture user credentials. They often host or link to counterfeit mobile apps that can harvest authentication tokens or install malware, enabling attackers to access the victim’s real account and move funds.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-21 with 92 engines and reported zero malicious or suspicious detections. Google Safe Browsing checked the same day and did not flag the site. OTX listed no pulses for the domain on that date. urlscan.io captured the site on 2026-10-21; its machine‑learning engine marked it malicious with a score of 100, categorising it as phishing and associating it with the Binance brand. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL also listed the domain, and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist marks it as malicious.
Infrastructure
The recorded IP was 168.222.65.180, which belonged to OWGELS INTERNATIONAL CO., LIMITED in Hong Kong. TLS was provided by a LiteSSL RSA CA 2025 certificate valid from 2026-10-21 to 2027-01-19. The domain age, apex age and TLS age were recorded as zero days, indicating a newly created registration. Authoritative nameservers were ns1.myhostadmin.net and ns2.myhostadmin.net.
What to do
Users should not enter Binance credentials on this site; if they have, they should change their Binance password and review account activity. They should also avoid downloading any applications linked from the page. Defenders should add apk-binance.com.cn to blocklists, monitor access logs for requests to this exact hostname, and apply appropriate filtering for the recorded nameservers.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
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.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including apk-binance.com.cn)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
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?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
