# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bkn-update.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 03:44:53 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bkn-update.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: cris.ns.cloudflare.com, mckenzie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6e8c9851bb6f0de5eb39e05a1cba03bbdf29dfcf3ab2ab9ad0af0c756ae652a9 ## 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: 2026-07-08 20:35:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-14 04:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 04:09:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4302-07d7-7094-87ae-8d874e458916/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bkn-update.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bkn-update.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bkn-update.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bkn-update.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bkn-update.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 21:00:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, bkn-update.live, operates as a credential phishing portal designed to harvest user login credentials through a fraudulent interface. Victims are lured into entering sensitive account details, such as usernames and passwords, under the false pretense of accessing a legitimate service. The site mimics trusted platforms, exploiting brand recognition to deceive users into disclosing confidential information, which can then be exploited for unauthorized access or financial fraud. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar commonly associated with both legitimate and malicious domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the site resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other suspicious activities. As of the latest assessment, the domain is flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a detection rate that, while modest, confirms its classification as an active phishing threat. The domain remains operational, posing an ongoing risk to unsuspecting users. Individuals who have visited bkn-update.live or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, change the passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed, prioritizing those linked to financial services or sensitive data. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report any suspicious behavior to the respective service providers. Additionally, consider scanning the device used to access the site for malware or unauthorized software that may have been installed during the interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6e8c9851bb6f0de5eb39e05a1cba03bbdf29dfcf3ab2ab9ad0af0c756ae652a9 ## 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 (operator 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/bkn-update.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bkn-update.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
