# PhishDestroy threat dossier — binance-safetycheck.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-21 15:31:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/binance-safetycheck.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Binance ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Chong Lua Dao, Fortinet, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["keanu.ns.cloudflare.com", "leah.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-02 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c39feea67d461f466b1453fad2e4c92ffd728f59bef2257ded1ca2c84976fddc ## 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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 17:22:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-02 14:25:20 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:07:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 06:38:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d4e91-d2c5-75c8-abb4-9e306b259a0f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e3cc04e9-863b-4d1d-ab80-d2808d5cefc9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/binance-safetycheck.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.binance-safetycheck.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=binance-safetycheck.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/binance-safetycheck.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/binance-safetycheck.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-02 17:23:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy assesses binance-safetycheck.com as an elevated risk due to active brand impersonation targeting Binance users. This poses a significant threat to individuals who may inadvertently trust the site, potentially leading to credential theft or financial loss. Technical indicators supporting this assessment include a VirusTotal score of 2/95, the registrar being NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolution to IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain was created relatively recently, on March 29, 2026. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, does not guarantee legitimacy in this context. Users should exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with binance-safetycheck.com. Do not enter any personal information or login credentials on the site. Always verify the authenticity of websites by carefully examining the URL and security certificates. Report any instances of encountering this domain to Binance and relevant cybersecurity authorities to aid in its takedown and prevent further harm. Consider implementing browser extensions and security software that can help detect and block phishing attempts. Vigilance and skepticism are crucial in mitigating the risk posed by this brand impersonation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260402-C31DE3 TLS cert SHA-256: c39feea67d461f466b1453fad2e4c92ffd728f59bef2257ded1ca2c84976fddc ## 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-safetycheck.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=binance-safetycheck.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.
