# PhishDestroy threat dossier — berachainfoundation.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 12:55:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/berachainfoundation.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.129.190 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: anita.ns.cloudflare.com, cory.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-16 Expires: 2027-06-16 ## 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: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 00:07:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 22:09:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 14:45:54 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efbab-a816-762e-a018-030e59e9dd33/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/785dee9d-0e87-465b-b2ba-1f19bd30938a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/berachainfoundation.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.berachainfoundation.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=berachainfoundation.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/berachainfoundation.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/berachainfoundation.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:38:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, berachainfoundation.com, is flagged as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it impersonates the Berachain blockchain project, likely deploying a wallet-draining kit to harvest private keys or seed phrases under the guise of airdrops or token distributions. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential theft campaigns observed in prior blockchain-related phishing operations, where victims are tricked into connecting wallets to malicious smart contracts or fake interfaces. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 16, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.129.190. VirusTotal detection metrics show 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on one security blocklist. The domain does not currently appear in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) databases, suggesting either recent deployment or evasion techniques to avoid broader detection. As of the latest verification, berachainfoundation.com has been taken offline, likely following abuse reports or registrar intervention. However, residual risk persists due to potential reuse of the IP or registration of similar domains under the same registrar. Users who interacted with the domain prior to takedown should assume credential compromise and revoke wallet permissions, monitor for unauthorized transactions, and replace any exposed private keys. Security teams are advised to block the domain and IP at perimeter controls and monitor for related infrastructure using the same registrar or hosting patterns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-C28CAD Favicon MD5: f8c0025063720ad725247f39efd69406 ## 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/berachainfoundation.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=berachainfoundation.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.
