Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is assessed as high risk and classified as a generic phishing threat. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate screen recording software to harvest credentials or distribute malware. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was created on January 30, 2026, and registered through Spaceship, Inc. VirusTotal shows 18 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious. It resolves to IP address 172.67.139.137, secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by Maltrail. AlienVault OTX reports its presence in 2 threat intelligence pulses. The page title is Bandicam Screen & Game Recorder for Windows, mimicking the official product. Mitigation steps include blocking the domain and associated IP at network perimeter firewalls, conducting user awareness training on phishing sites mimicking software downloads, and scanning endpoints for any downloaded executables from this domain. Monitor logs for connections to 172.67.139.137 and report the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms for takedown coordination. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0ae25c581417bd4df8628d0a6be81c19 TLS cert SHA-256: 313f44d611f308af7b96381e67d414f7450b8adc4573f07b5c4a8e501c9acbd9 ## 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/bandicam.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bandicam.io 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.
