Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain binance-co.github.io has been identified as a brand‑impersonation site targeting Binance users. The registration is handled through GitHub, Inc., and the site presents a valid Let's Encrypt certificate (type YR2). The domain resolves to the IP address 185.199.110.153, which belongs to GitHub’s hosting infrastructure located in the United States. Passive analysis shows the presence of Varnish, GitHub Pages, and Fastly components, consistent with a static site served from GitHub's content delivery network. The domain appears on two security blocklists and has been added to the PhishDestroy and OpenPhish feeds, indicating that threat‑intel communities have observed malicious activity. Despite the blocklist presence, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scans, suggesting that automated scanners have not yet flagged the content as malicious. Nameserver information is not disclosed, and no additional infrastructure such as dedicated hosting or command‑and‑control servers has been observed. The lack of detections on VirusTotal does not imply safety; it reflects a gap in shared intelligence rather than an absence of malicious intent. Defenders should include binance-co.github.io in URL filtering rules and block it at the network perimeter. Continuous DNS monitoring is advised to detect any future changes to the underlying IP or hosting configuration. Because the site leverages a legitimate certificate and reputable CDN, endpoint security solutions should be tuned to inspect payloads and credential‑phishing behaviors rather than rely solely on certificate reputation. Organizations should also educate users about the visual similarity of the domain to the legitimate Binance brand and enforce multi‑factor authentication to mitigate credential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 ## 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/binance-co.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=binance-co.github.io 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.
