Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: david.ns.cloudflare.com, rachel.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-08-23 Expires: 2026-08-23 Page title: Bonk Faucet - Claim Free Bonk Coin HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bcafe2065e4c9e6c7fab65a7d98524ffcaa809f2fc7996064e081fe7464d8e89 ## 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: 2025-08-23 (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) First reported: 2025-09-12 06:42:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-26 00:00:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01993ca9-32c9-777f-8799-54a252d0d281/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bonk-faucet.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bonk-faucet.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bonk-faucet.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bonk-faucet.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bonk-faucet.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:37:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy assesses bonk-faucet.online as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the Ethereum brand. While the risk level is not critical, this domain attempts to exploit brand recognition by presenting itself as a faucet for the Bonk coin, potentially misleading users into trusting it. The domain was registered recently on August 23, 2025, and is hosted on IP 104.21.96.1. It scored poorly on trust metrics, with a Scamadviser trust score of 19/100 and a Gridinsoft score of 0/100. VirusTotal flagged it in 1 out of 95 security vendor scans and it appears on one known security blocklist. The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. and showed a page titled "Bonk Faucet - Claim Free Bonk Coin," which could lure cryptocurrency enthusiasts by impersonating Ethereum-related services. Currently, bonk-faucet.online is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with this domain and similar impersonation attempts. Users should verify brand authenticity through official channels and remain cautious of free cryptocurrency offers from unverified sources. Continuous monitoring of this domain’s status and related brand impersonations is advised to prevent possible future exploitation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: b29cd63064611eeb851354145a1c984fe883d87971b53105206ad1d5da3de824 TLS cert SHA-256: bcafe2065e4c9e6c7fab65a7d98524ffcaa809f2fc7996064e081fe7464d8e89 ## 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/bonk-faucet.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bonk-faucet.online 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.
