## INFRASTRUCTURE

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:39:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bancustoken.finance as a crypto drainer domain that impersonates the cryptocurrency exchange OKX. This malicious site was designed to deceive users into trusting its fraudulent interface, mimicking OKX branding to lure victims. The threat is classified as medium risk due to its specific targeting of crypto wallets and users' digital assets.

Technical indicators reveal that bancustoken.finance utilized a Wallet Connect abuse kit to steal funds from unsuspecting users. The domain resolved to IP address 172.66.47.177 and was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., a common registrar for hosting such malicious infrastructure due to its CDN services. The phishing page displayed the title "Inicio - bancus.io," further camouflaging the site under a legitimate-looking interface. Security monitoring platforms have listed this domain on two blocklists, and VirusTotal has flagged it across 5 out of 95 security vendors, indicating moderate detection coverage.

Currently, bancustoken.finance is offline, reflecting a positive action either by hosting providers or security teams mitigating this threat. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify URLs carefully before entering any sensitive information related to cryptocurrency wallets. PhishDestroy continues to monitor domains impersonating major brands like OKX to protect users from evolving crypto-related phishing schemes.

## 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.
