# PhishDestroy threat dossier — baseds.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 22:28:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/baseds.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Base ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["june.ns.cloudflare.com", "nikon.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-02 Expires: 2027-03-30 HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 17:36:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-02 15:14:02 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-24 01:13:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-03 01:51:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d4e9e-5fc1-73f0-974e-254ffe0fb045/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f9a14f20-dc71-43bc-833b-c32f6f4798d9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/baseds.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.baseds.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=baseds.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/baseds.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/baseds.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-02 17:37:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has initiated an investigation into baseds.live, identifying it as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Base. The domain is currently active and presents an elevated risk to users. Technical analysis reveals that baseds.live was created on March 30, 2026. VirusTotal reports that 3 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain also appears on 2 security blocklists. The domain utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Based on these indicators, baseds.live is considered a high-risk domain due to its brand impersonation activity. MetaMask and SEAL have already blocked this domain. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with baseds.live or any related communications. Exercise extreme caution and verify the legitimacy of any website or communication claiming to be associated with Base. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260402-02AE78 ## 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/baseds.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=baseds.live 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.
