# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bnbscan.ai ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 23:32:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bnbscan.ai/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 52.222.236.17 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS CloudFront (GLOBAL) Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns-1418.awsdns-49.org", "ns-54.awsdns-06.com", "ns-1948.awsdns-51.co.uk", "ns-521.awsdns-01.net"] Registered: 2025-10-31 Expires: 2029-10-31 Page title: BNB x402scan · AEON HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Amazon / Amazon RSA 2048 M04 Expires: 2026-11-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ac8a3ea670917a07b26439658f803e6b880b422df59cf98ad594fd6c5226554d ## 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: 2025-10-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 17:24:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 17:24:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:42:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 15:24:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, bnbscan.ai, poses a high-risk threat by impersonating legitimate BNB Chain blockchain explorers to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or transferring cryptocurrency. The site mimics the appearance and functionality of official BNB Chain scanners, likely targeting users searching for transaction verification tools or wallet management interfaces. Analysis of the page title, 'BNB x402scan · AEON,' suggests an attempt to exploit trust in BNB Chain infrastructure while introducing fabricated elements to bypass casual scrutiny. Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of this domain. It is flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating detection by multiple independent engines. The domain was registered on October 31, 2025, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 52.222.236.17, hosted on infrastructure commonly associated with malicious campaigns. Additionally, it appears on three security blocklists, further validating its classification as a phishing threat. The SSL certificate, issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04, does not mitigate the risk, as phishing domains frequently use valid certificates to appear legitimate. Users who have visited bnbscan.ai should immediately cease all interaction with the site and revoke any permissions granted to it. If credentials or private keys were entered, affected accounts must be secured by changing passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, and transferring assets to new wallets. All devices used to access the domain should undergo a full security scan to detect potential malware or backdoors. Network-level blocking of the domain and its resolving IP address (52.222.236.17) is recommended to prevent further exposure. Monitoring for unauthorized transactions or account activity is critical, as phishing domains of this nature often facilitate immediate exploitation of stolen data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 54026f14affc5637d595b92a69240c1c TLS cert SHA-256: ac8a3ea670917a07b26439658f803e6b880b422df59cf98ad594fd6c5226554d ## 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/bnbscan.ai/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bnbscan.ai 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.
