Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bengi.fi as a recently activated domain linked to a credential harvesting campaign. This site was registered on August 02, 2025, and currently evades detection by all 95 VirusTotal scanning engines, indicating a low immediate flagging risk despite its malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is operated through Immaterialism Ltd, a registrar known for hosting high-risk domains. Its SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, adds a false sense of legitimacy, making it harder for users to distinguish it from legitimate websites. The threat posed by bengi.fi is primarily focused on stealing user credentials, such as login details for email, banking, or social media accounts. Attackers often use newly registered domains to bypass early detection systems, relying on users' trust in HTTPS encryption and freshly minted domains. The combination of a clean VirusTotal score (0 detections) and a recent creation date (August 02, 2025) suggests this domain is actively being used in phishing campaigns before security vendors catch up. Users who encounter this domain should treat it as high-risk, even if automated tools have not yet flagged it. If you visited bengi.fi, immediately check for any entered credentials or personal information. Do not use the same passwords elsewhere, as they may have been compromised. Run a malware scan on your device using trusted antivirus software. Report the domain to your IT team or use a phishing reporting tool if available. Avoid clicking any links or downloading files from this site in the future. Monitor your accounts for unusual activity, as credentials harvested here could be used in further attacks. Always verify a website’s legitimacy through independent sources before entering sensitive data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 43d7b8607a6473085bbff6d41c730ce9 TLS cert SHA-256: 79d7d478b0099df0d0e4788681b39603cf55eda0fffece5a9e0db3a21d36bfc1 ## 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/bengi.fi/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bengi.fi 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.
