REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bankunited.site as an active banking trojan domain impersonating BankUnited, a regional financial institution. The domain is currently under investigation while threat actors refine its deployment. The site remains live with no current blocklist presence, suggesting an early-stage campaign with potential for rapid escalation. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely detected by security engines. It was registered through NameSilo, LLC, resolves to IP address 37.49.229.75, and was created on April 29, 2024. The threat actor leveraged a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance legitimacy and evade browser warnings. At this time, PhishDestroy has not recorded any blocklist entries or trust scores for this domain, placing it in a preliminary phase of operation. While the current detection rate is low, the domain exhibits multiple red flags: it impersonates a known banking brand, uses a recently registered domain, and employs a free SSL certificate common in phishing campaigns. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with any links or content from bankunited.site. Organizations and individuals should update browser and email filters to block the domain and IP address. Security teams are recommended to monitor for associated infrastructure and report any observed traffic to threat intelligence platforms. Given the volatility of phishing campaigns, this domain’s status should be re-evaluated daily until robust detection signatures are available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260429-A73D82 TLS cert SHA-256: 4f585acd7c5e7d3018195b0610f31c4628d54ef08a240570813b8f6d0a6e934c ## 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/bankunited.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bankunited.site 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.
