## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:19:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies binance188.com as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Binance users. The threat level is low but remains active, warranting caution.

This domain was registered recently through InterNetX GmbH and resolves to IP 198.18.0.51. It carries a suspicious page title mimicking Binance and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags it on one out of 95 security engines, indicating limited but existing detection.

Users should avoid interacting with this domain and verify official Binance URLs carefully. Employ browser security tools and maintain updated antivirus software to reduce exposure to phishing attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       06ba71cca6b31947958a568798a7d024
TLS cert SHA-256:      9a8cd9555f161ffac9797da0870d1190279de75068da0d90dd928b9c4cdc0514

## 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.
