Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that bonusal.icu is a recently registered domain exhibiting characteristics consistent with phishing activity targeting users through fraudulent bonus or reward schemes. The domain was created on July 10, 2026, and remains active as of July 13, 2026, with registration handled by NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.170.31, which is part of a network frequently associated with malicious or high-risk content. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious sites, offering no inherent trust signal beyond basic encryption. Threat intelligence sources provide limited but concerning indicators. Four of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting early detection of suspicious behavior. Additionally, AlienVault OTX lists the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, indicating it has been observed in active threat campaigns. No specific brand, phishing kit, or exact content of the site has been confirmed in available data, and the domain’s page title or targeted scam type remains unanalyzed. The generic_phishing classification implies broad fraudulent intent rather than a narrowly defined scheme. Defenders should treat bonusal.icu as a high-risk domain. Network-level blocking is recommended for organizations, particularly those in sectors frequently targeted by reward or bonus scams, such as retail, finance, or customer loyalty programs. Endpoint protection and email filtering systems should be updated to include this domain in denylists. Users encountering this domain should avoid interaction, as no legitimate purpose has been established. Further monitoring of associated infrastructure, such as resolving IPs or newly registered domains from the same registrar, may reveal additional threats in this campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 5672685d38d7dea13f02c008a22d6d0d8b614aa4ea595fe72d2703568e444e64 ## 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 (operator 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/bonusal.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bonusal.icu 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
