## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      216.198.79.1 (US, Walnut)
ASN:             ASAS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.
Hosting org:     AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.
Nameservers:     dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com
Registered:      2026-02-21
Expires:         2027-02-06
Page title:      BNB Welcome Bonus

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 04:35:32 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-13 07:51:03 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:53:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified bnbprize.space as a phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users by masquerading as a legitimate platform offering a "BNB Welcome Bonus." While this threat is currently assessed as low risk, it highlights ongoing attempts by attackers to exploit users with deceptive offers designed to steal sensitive information.

The domain bnbprize.space was created on February 21, 2026, and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. Although it appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, the site has since been taken offline. It resolved to the IP address 216.198.79.1 and served a page intending to lure users into fraudulent activity.

Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with domains like bnbprize.space, especially those promising unsolicited cryptocurrency bonuses or rewards. Always verify the legitimacy of such offers through official channels and use trusted security tools to detect potential phishing attempts. Staying vigilant and informed remains the best defense against these low-level but deceptive scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260211-2CE35B

## 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.
