Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bimfx-trades.com as a medium-risk phishing domain primarily involved in generic phishing activities. This classification reflects a moderate threat level where users may be exposed to attempts at credential theft or other fraudulent schemes. The domain does not specifically impersonate a known brand, but its use in phishing campaigns warrants caution. The domain was created on January 18, 2023, and registered through NameCheap, Inc. It resolves to IP address 198.12.66.123 and currently appears on one security blocklist. Scamadviser assigns it a very low trust score of 1 out of 100, indicating a high potential for malicious use. VirusTotal analysis shows that 6 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, supporting the suspicion of phishing activity. The homepage title simply states "Home," which is commonly used in fraudulent sites to appear legitimate while gathering sensitive information. Currently, bimfx-trades.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. Despite this, users should remain vigilant and avoid attempts to visit or interact with this domain. If encountered, it is recommended to block the domain and report any phishing attempts associated with it. Maintaining updated security software and employing caution when entering credentials online remain critical defenses against such threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 2cd4c0086d8553bb47944dad44d19461f89698f5c72f535518e402825efaecb5 ## 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/bimfx-trades.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bimfx-trades.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.
