Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain binance-shortcut.com has been identified as an active brand impersonation threat targeting the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This domain is suspected of attempting to deceive users by mimicking Binance’s branding, potentially to harvest credentials or facilitate crypto-related fraud. No specific drainer kits have been linked to this domain yet, but the impersonation tactic alone poses significant risk to users seeking legitimate Binance services. Technical analysis of binance-shortcut.com reveals a VirusTotal detection score of 0 out of 95, indicating it has not yet been flagged by major antivirus engines. The domain was registered on April 13, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU operating as Trustname.com. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.192.163 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and secure. Currently, there are no Google Safe Browsing (GSB) flags or known blocklist entries against this domain, which may delay user warnings and detection by automated systems. Despite the absence of immediate flags, binance-shortcut.com remains under investigation and is considered active. Security teams and users should exercise caution and avoid interacting with this domain to prevent potential credential theft or other malicious activity. Continuous monitoring and timely reporting to cybersecurity authorities are recommended to mitigate risks. Users are advised to access Binance services only through official channels and verify URLs carefully to ensure protection against brand impersonation scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-92D30B Favicon MD5: 4e7d2343939ad9980909148d2052afac TLS cert SHA-256: 9e3eeae7b5fd011b140049a1ad24ca8d2d11364cca34120f12bfeff9d8764fc3 ## 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-shortcut.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=binance-shortcut.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.
