Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bonus-based.com as a generic phishing page designed to steal login credentials and personal data. The site mimics legitimate reward or bonus platforms, tricking visitors into submitting usernames, passwords, email addresses, or payment details. Once captured, this information is often used for identity theft, financial fraud, or sold on dark web markets, putting users at significant risk of account takeovers and monetary loss. Technical indicators confirm this domain is actively malicious. VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 security vendors detecting the threat as of seed 5a9dbb. The domain bonus-based.com was created on May 11, 2026—a suspiciously recent registration date suggesting opportunistic threat actor activity. It resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate while being registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a common anonymized registrar abused in phishing campaigns. If you visited bonus-based.com, immediately change passwords on all accounts using the same or similar credentials. Run a full antivirus scan, enable two-factor authentication where possible, and monitor bank accounts and credit reports for unauthorized activity. Never re-enter credentials on this site. Report the domain to your browser’s phishing alert system or PhishDestroy’s database to help shut it down. Stay vigilant—generic phishing pages like this evolve rapidly and often bypass initial detection systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260511-319839 Favicon MD5: ba02879e9049b28e5101e23596568f2b TLS cert SHA-256: 449332d81dc6360538796d58c844851870e5152f5212ad631d0e7d6b72df0fc8 ## 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/bonus-based.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bonus-based.com 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.
