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: 2025-11-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-11-12 00:18:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:21:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 05:46:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a7597-2f70-738a-97ac-0de7a201cf77/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:28:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com a Fake Booking.com This domain, bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com, is identified as a high-risk phishing site designed to impersonate the official Booking.com platform. The site presents itself as a legitimate hotel booking portal, using the exact page title 'Booking.com | Official website | Best hotels and accommodation' to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials such as login details, payment information, or personal data. Such fraudulent sites are commonly used to harvest user information for financial fraud, identity theft, or unauthorized account access. The inclusion of 'bwhhotel-group' in the domain name suggests an attempt to mimic a legitimate hotel chain or partner, further increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on November 9, 2025, through Dynadot LLC, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing infrastructure. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335), a common tactic used by threat actors to obscure the true origin of malicious sites. Notably, the domain lacks an SSL certificate, a critical security indicator that users are often trained to look for. According to VirusTotal, 20 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, and it is blocked by PhishDestroy as well as Google Safe Browsing for phishing activity. The domain has since been taken offline, but its infrastructure and registration details remain indicative of a coordinated phishing campaign. If a user visited bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com and entered any credentials or personal information, immediate action is required. First, change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised, particularly those associated with Booking.com or linked email addresses. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for signs of fraudulent activity, such as unauthorized transactions or new account openings. Users should also report the incident to their financial institution and consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze if sensitive data was exposed. Additionally, scanning the device used to access the site with updated security software is recommended to detect any potential malware or backdoors installed during the interaction. ## 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/bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bwhhotel-group-verification698429105.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
