Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 11:20:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 11:20:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:33:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebb20-7b9e-74d5-a9dc-c0f74b00b9ff/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/banx-bxe.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.banx-bxe.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=banx-bxe.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/banx-bxe.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/banx-bxe.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:20:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, banx-bxe.com, is identified as a phishing site specifically targeting users of the Banx Network’s BXE Rewards program. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as an official rewards allocation portal, likely designed to harvest user credentials or sensitive financial information. The page title, 'BXE Rewards Allocation — Banx Network,' directly mimics legitimate branding, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the domain’s infrastructure and content align with credential phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 04, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.87.176, which is part of a network range commonly used for bulletproof hosting. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, with 12 out of 95 engines detecting it. The domain appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. Technologies detected include HSTS, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, which are often leveraged to obfuscate malicious activity and evade detection. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy to phishing sites. As of the latest assessment, banx-bxe.com has been taken offline, likely in response to blocklistings and security vendor detections. However, the elevated risk persists due to the domain’s recent creation date and its association with a known phishing campaign targeting financial reward programs. Users who interacted with the site should immediately revoke any credentials or tokens shared, monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant security teams. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP address to prevent future access attempts. Given the domain’s registration date in the future (2026), this is likely a typographical error in the data, but the threat remains valid based on other indicators. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: de3391fbe870290d0c76ae5defb6265c TLS cert SHA-256: 633af69ea80a40e53fbc83d638525e87df0b1c24af784ac9458ba96307e69fff ## 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/banx-bxe.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=banx-bxe.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
