Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: athena.ns.cloudflare.com, donald.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-04 HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 13290181d66314a895a5b124841cfe98203d01f1747775245a8a61387e89cc55 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED AND IGNORED — Global Domain Group LLC did not act on these notifications. Domain still online. Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-04-09 10:54:49 UTC Days since first notice: 21 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bavapex.com/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:10:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:11:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 04:43:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d5a53-590d-77fb-88c5-05b1be74d08a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/55c98d7d-68a2-4cce-871b-4e4075609bfc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bavapex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bavapex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bavapex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bavapex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bavapex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:11:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bavapex.com as an active credential-harvesting phishing domain engineered to steal user login details under the guise of a legitimate service. The domain mimics the branding of well-known platforms to trick visitors into entering sensitive information into spoofed forms. Technical analysis shows it resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, a server linked to multiple fraudulent operations, and operates behind a Let’s Encrypt certificate to appear legitimate. The threat is not theoretical—this is a live trap targeting users under false pretenses. The domain was registered on March 13, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar known for facilitating high volumes of fraudulent registrations. Despite being active and unresolved, VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 security engines flagging the domain, indicating a dangerous detection gap. The site has not yet been listed on major blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or OpenPhish—leaving users exposed to prolonged risk. Age, registrar, and zero detections form a perfect storm for social engineering success. If you visited bavapex.com and entered any login credentials, change your passwords immediately across all accounts where you reused those credentials. Use a password manager and enable two-factor authentication on all critical services. Report the domain to your network administrator or security team and consider blocking 188.114.96.3 at the firewall level. Avoid any future interaction with this domain. A full investigative report with IOCs (indicators of compromise) is available for further review and proactive defense measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-03A1AB Favicon MD5: 936386e361020ac6bcebbcc772491fbb TLS cert SHA-256: 13290181d66314a895a5b124841cfe98203d01f1747775245a8a61387e89cc55 ## 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/bavapex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bavapex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
