beninmaritime.in Fake Maritime Agency Credential Harvest

Analysis of the domain beninmaritime.in indicates it is actively engaged in credential-harvesting phishing targeting maritime agencies or port authorities. Registered through GoDaddy on an unspecified date, the domain resolves to IP address 118.139.179.219, hosted on GoDaddy infrastructure in Singapore. As of July 19, 2026, the site remains operational, returning an HTTP 200 status code, and is flagged by one security blocklist, including PhishDestroy. Five of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected malicious activity associated with this domain, while AlienVault OTX lists it in four threat intelligence pulses, suggesting recurring use in phishing campaigns.  The SSL certificate is issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. under the Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2, a common certificate provider for both legitimate and malicious domains. Nameservers ns55.domaincontrol.com and ns56.domaincontrol.com are consistent with GoDaddy’s default configuration, offering no immediate indicators of compromise beyond the domain’s known malicious classification.  No specific phishing kit or targeted brand has been confirmed in available data, though the domain name implies impersonation of a Beninese maritime or port authority. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk infrastructure. Recommended actions include blocking resolution at DNS or firewall level, monitoring for connections to 118.139.179.219, and reviewing logs for credential submission attempts originating from internal networks. Further analysis of the site’s content may clarify the exact phishing lure or targeted entity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       78be9fbe79560d133c64a4d697364d1b
TLS cert SHA-256:      d5d8aa2a2d00b0b15d650517f99973fc78721a44398791350bd7c57cd2f45c62

## 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.
