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: 2025-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-31 01:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:28:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01989c51-c5ea-726f-8e48-3f5a88ffa6a1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/buganbk.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.buganbk.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=buganbk.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/buganbk.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/buganbk.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:54:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified buganbk.com as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating Burgan Bank Plc. This site aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details by masquerading as a legitimate banking portal. While the threat level is assessed as low, users should remain vigilant as phishing attempts can lead to identity theft or unauthorized account access. The domain buganbk.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 198.12.66.123. It remains active and has been flagged on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis reveals that 2 out of 95 security vendors detect this domain as suspicious, indicating limited but noteworthy recognition of its malicious intent. The page title found on the site is "Burgan Bank Plc," reinforcing the phishing attempt to mimic the bank’s official branding. Users are strongly advised not to interact with buganbk.com or provide any personal or financial information on the site. If you have already entered credentials, promptly change passwords and monitor your bank accounts for any unauthorized transactions. Employ up-to-date security software and verify URLs carefully before inputting sensitive data. Reporting suspicious domains like buganbk.com to your IT department or security provider can help mitigate potential risks. ## 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/buganbk.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=buganbk.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.
