## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-27 13:21:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bonusweb.org as a generic phishing domain impersonating rewards and giveaway platforms to harvest login credentials and personal data. The domain exhibits typical phishing characteristics, including recent registration and low detection rates, suggesting an active threat campaign targeting unsuspecting users. No specific drainer kit or brand impersonation has been conclusively linked to this domain at the time of this report, but the structure aligns with common credential harvesting schemes.  

This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no current detections among major security vendors. It was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolves to IP address 178.253.46.86, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for legitimacy. The domain was created on June 01, 2023, and remains unblocked by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at this time. The low detection rate and active status warrant immediate caution, as it may evade traditional security measures.  

As of the latest analysis, bonusweb.org remains classified as 'active' with a risk level of 'under_investigation'. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and report it to their security teams or relevant phishing databases. The current risk is elevated due to the lack of vendor detections and the domain's recent activity. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain, and security researchers are encouraged to submit additional threat intelligence to refine classification and mitigation strategies. Remaining risk includes potential data theft or malware distribution if users engage with the site.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 8/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
