# PhishDestroy threat dossier — benefitsfunds.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 04:53:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/benefitsfunds.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE THREAT — multiple warning signs Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Fortinet, Netcraft URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.89.168 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! 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.] benefitsfunds.top – Phishing Site Detected The domain benefitsfunds.top was registered through NameSilo, LLC on April 29, 2026. It is hosted on the IP address 198.251.89.168 and uses the authoritative name servers ns10.my-control-panel.com and ns9.my-control-panel.com. Threat intelligence sources have classified the site as a generic phishing operation and assigned a high risk rating. The domain currently appears on one public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. A VirusTotal scan returned five positive detections out of ninety‑one scanners, indicating that multiple security engines have identified malicious characteristics. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026. Publicly available data does not include an SSL certificate fingerprint, HTTP response code, or page title, and no additional context such as targeted brands or phishing kits has been published. Consequently, the exact content presented to victims is unknown, and the specific lure employed by the campaign cannot be confirmed. However, the combination of recent registration, use of a control‑panel‑provided name server set, and detection by multiple vendors is consistent with infrastructure observed in other credential‑harvesting campaigns. Defenders should add benefitsfunds.top to domain blocklists, enforce DNS‑level deny rules, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to 198.251.89.168. Email security gateways should be configured to flag messages containing URLs that resolve to this domain, and users should be warned against clicking links that direct to benefitsfunds.top. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as further analysis of the web content may reveal additional indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-C2531F ## 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/benefitsfunds.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=benefitsfunds.top 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.
