bnb20[.]network
“Send BNB | Trust Wallet”
Analysis of the domain bnb20.network indicates it is a confirmed phishing site targeting users of a cryptocurrency platform, with elevated risk due to its infrastructure and detection status. The domain was registered on March 6, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 3.174.46.33, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AS16509) in Germany. The SSL certificate is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious sites, offering no inherent trust signals beyond basic encryption. Detection data reveals limited but actionable intelligence: the domain appears on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is flagged by 2 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting early but growing recognition as malicious.
Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its classification as high-risk. No additional details about the phishing kit, page content, or specific brand impersonation are available in the provided data, though the domain name suggests a likely association with Binance or a related cryptocurrency service. Defenders should treat this domain as actively malicious based on its registration context, hosting provider, and detection status. The use of NameCheap for registration and AWS for hosting is consistent with phishing campaigns due to the accessibility and scalability of these services.
While the domain is currently offline, historical resolutions and SSL certificates may still pose risks for retrospective analysis or incident response. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS or proxy level, monitor for related infrastructure (e.g., shared IPs, nameservers), and review logs for connections to 3.174.46.33 or the domain itself. Further investigation into the phishing kit or payload is recommended if additional artifacts, such as HTTP headers or page titles, become available.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with bnb20.network — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
bnb20.network) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
