# PhishDestroy threat dossier — binanceusdt.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 03:31:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/binanceusdt.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Binance ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 88.222.222.186 (LT, Vilnius) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger International Ltd. Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: lunar.dns-parking.com, solar.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6fc7ba04a7dab2327730b127828d25f0f02ca90076ba3cd420e3a204a1ab9ec4 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.binanceusdt.com ## 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: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:32:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 12:42:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 05:15:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e35-cb3e-7400-808d-0814ce76b2b8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/04f1407d-2057-443b-8c69-6235d6924536 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/binanceusdt.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.binanceusdt.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=binanceusdt.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/binanceusdt.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/binanceusdt.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:35:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, binanceusdt.com, is identified as a high-risk brand impersonation portal targeting Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to mimic legitimate Binance services, likely deploying a crypto drainer kit to siphon digital assets from unsuspecting users. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation with a secondary vector of credential harvesting, commonly associated with fraudulent investment schemes and wallet-draining malware. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 88.222.222.186, a host with no prior association to legitimate Binance infrastructure. VirusTotal detection metrics report 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but non-zero indicator of compromise. The domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a registrar frequently exploited for transient phishing infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to fraudulent sites. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unlisted, and no additional blocklist entries are recorded at this time, suggesting the campaign is in an early or evasive operational phase. As of the latest assessment, binanceusdt.com remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation. The domain continues to resolve, and no public sinkholing or registrar intervention has been observed. The risk level is classified as high due to the direct targeting of cryptocurrency users, a demographic historically prone to irreversible financial loss. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity via official Binance communication channels and refrain from entering credentials or connecting wallets to untrusted portals. Security teams should monitor for related infrastructure, particularly domains registered through HOSTINGER with similar naming conventions, and update detection rules to include the IP 88.222.222.186 in threat intelligence feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-20C6B7 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 6fc7ba04a7dab2327730b127828d25f0f02ca90076ba3cd420e3a204a1ab9ec4 ## 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/binanceusdt.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=binanceusdt.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.
