Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bestcashback.live has been identified as an active phishing domain designed to mimic legitimate cashback services. The threat is classified as a generic phishing operation, specifically targeting users with promises of high-return cashback offers. This domain is currently flagged by multiple security vendors and remains under active investigation due to its potential to deceive users into disclosing sensitive financial information or credentials. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a significant risk due to several critical indicators. The site leverages a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, resolving to IP 216.198.79.1, which is associated with malicious activities. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 06, 2026, the domain has already been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, highlighting a window of opportunity for threat actors to exploit before broader detection occurs. Additionally, the domain appears on at least two security blocklists, further validating its malicious nature. Mitigation steps must be prioritized to prevent user exposure and potential data breaches. Users should immediately block and report bestcashback.live across all networks and endpoints. Organizations are advised to update firewall and DNS blocklists with this domain and its associated IP. Security teams should also conduct a wider sweep for related domains registered around the same date or sharing infrastructure. For end-users, avoid interacting with unsolicited cashback offers and verify the legitimacy of financial services through official channels. Proactive monitoring of this domain is critical as its threat level may escalate pending further intelligence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 TLS cert SHA-256: 82a98a51a6ff4871b977810204293f8c22e06018360fde46df28c01894169df1 ## 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/bestcashback.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bestcashback.live 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.
