Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged binance-hq.com as an active brand impersonation site targeting Binance. The domain features a Chinese-language page titled '币安交易所 | 全球领先的加密货币交易平台' and is designed to deceive users into interacting with a fraudulent trading portal. Although no crypto drainer kit has been confirmed, the site’s structure and content closely mimic Binance’s official platform, indicating intent to harvest credentials or facilitate unauthorized transactions. The threat remains under investigation for additional malicious components. This domain resolves to IP 176.123.1.175 and is registered through Fewmoretaps OU under the d/b/a Trustname.com. Its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, and the domain was created on April 09, 2026. VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 detections, and the site remains unblocked by Google Safe Browsing. No current blocklist entries have been recorded. The domain’s recent creation and low detection rate suggest it is a newly deployed threat with potential for rapid expansion. The campaign is currently active, with no confirmed takedown or mitigation in place. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain at the network and DNS levels and report it to relevant threat intelligence platforms. Given the absence of detections and the domain’s recent registration, the risk remains high until further analysis or enforcement actions are completed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-2F3FE3 Favicon MD5: a7c78c927f29f69f859e7bdb149c6aa0 TLS cert SHA-256: 10a874958bc622f261005ae78c4e72dbcde72d7803f0a0d1c9034dab7d83fb2c ## 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/binance-hq.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=binance-hq.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.
