# PhishDestroy threat dossier — buildernode.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 08:31:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/buildernode.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.73.8.100 (DE, Eschborn) ASN: AS52148 Enix Ltd Hosting org: UK Enix Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 08:45:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 05:46:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-07 05:30:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:34:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dcd78-11da-70b6-b623-588ef7a7394e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b8465945-eaa9-46f2-b3a2-22b28b9f9d82 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/buildernode.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.buildernode.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=buildernode.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/buildernode.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/buildernode.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 08:46:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies buildernode.org as a potentially malicious domain currently under investigation for generic phishing activities. The domain exhibits multiple red flags, including zero detections on VirusTotal out of 95 engines, despite active hosting on IP address 185.73.8.100. Registered through NameSilo, LLC on February 02, 2022, the domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it an air of legitimacy at first glance. However, the absence of blocklist entries and negligible trust scores across threat intelligence platforms suggest this domain has not yet drawn widespread attention, increasing the risk of unsuspecting victims falling prey to its lures. Technical analysis reveals several concerning attributes. The domain’s infrastructure, hosted at 185.73.8.100, shows no prior reputation, with no detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. This lack of visibility is particularly alarming, as it indicates the domain may be newly operational or deliberately avoiding detection mechanisms. The registration details, handled by NameSilo, LLC—a registrar known for accommodating both legitimate and malicious registrations—along with the domain’s creation date of February 02, 2022, suggest a relatively recent deployment. While the domain employs a Let's Encrypt certificate, this does not guarantee safety, as threat actors frequently exploit free certificates to obfuscate malicious intent. The combination of these factors—zero detections, unremarkable infrastructure, and fresh registration—positions buildernode.org as a high-risk candidate for phishing campaigns, particularly those impersonating legitimate brand builders or service providers. Mitigation efforts should prioritize proactive blocking and user awareness. Network defenders are advised to implement immediate blocks at the DNS and firewall levels for the domain buildernode.org and its associated IP address, 185.73.8.100. Given the domain’s low detection rate, organizations should also monitor for any inbound or outbound traffic to this domain, as it may indicate successful phishing attempts or command-and-control (C2) communications. Users should be warned against interacting with unsolicited links or emails referencing buildernode.org, especially those purporting to offer services or account verifications. Additionally, security teams should conduct retrospective analysis of proxy logs, DNS queries, and endpoint telemetry for any historical connections to this domain, as its recent emergence may correlate with earlier, undetected compromise attempts. Enhanced monitoring for SSL certificate issuance related to Let's Encrypt in conjunction with this domain’s IP range is also recommended to preemptively identify related malicious infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-2E3CBE Favicon MD5: 10a40452a45eaa7b811510aa712123d9 TLS cert SHA-256: c2768030a77af4530749de8aadc2b905581461a34672b5b2048bac061b8aa27e ## 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/buildernode.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=buildernode.org 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.
