================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-27 19:08:45 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/baseto.net/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Base

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Cloudflare, Inc.
Registered:      2026-01-03
Expires:         2027-01-03

## 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: 2026-01-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-24 21:32:18 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 15:16:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain baseto.net has been identified as a high-risk phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate the Base blockchain platform. Analysis confirms this domain operates under the threat classification of brand_impersonation, targeting users of the legitimate Base network with fraudulent credential harvesting and transaction redirection schemes. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though residual risks may persist in cached or archived instances.  Infrastructure analysis reveals baseto.net was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on January 03, 2026, indicating a recently established malicious operation. Detection metrics show the domain was flagged by 9 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while simultaneously appearing on 3 distinct security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing has explicitly classified this domain as phishing, corroborating the malicious intent. The domain's association with cryptocurrency fraud is further evidenced by its inclusion in specialized blocklists maintained by cryptocurrency security entities.  Current status indicates the domain is no longer actively resolving, though historical DNS records and cached content may still pose residual threats. Organizations and individual users are advised to implement domain-based blocking at the network perimeter, particularly for cryptocurrency-related services. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to include this domain in their phishing signatures. Users who may have interacted with this domain are strongly recommended to revoke any active sessions, rotate credentials, and verify transaction histories on the legitimate Base platform. Continuous monitoring of related domains with similar naming patterns is advised to detect potential follow-up campaigns.

## 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.
