# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cdn-binance.com.cn ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-21 17:44:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cdn-binance.com.cn/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Binance ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 107.173.18.78 (US, Buffalo) ASN: AS36352 HostPapa Hosting org: SmartServerHost LLC HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. / LiteSSL RSA CA 2025 Expires: 2026-10-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ec0601882907df5ae3c9c1f2535f60ec3987995a86fafd527fd1167e6c9cddb6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - bian.cdn-binance.com.cn - cn.cdn-binance.com.cn - www.cdn-binance.com.cn ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:38:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-21 16:20:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-20 00:23:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 01:16:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] cdn-binance.com.cn Fake Binance Brand Impersonation Alert Analysis of the domain cdn-binance.com.cn indicates an elevated-risk brand impersonation campaign targeting Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The domain, now offline, was flagged in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX and appears on one security blocklist. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolved to the IP address 107.173.18.78, hosted by SmartServerHost LLC in the United States. The domain's SSL certificate was issued by TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. under the LiteSSL RSA CA 2025 intermediate authority. VirusTotal scans detected the domain as malicious by 5 of 91 security vendors, though the exact nature of the threat remains unconfirmed due to the domain's current offline status and HTTP 404 response. No additional details about the phishing kit, lure type, or targeted user actions are available at this time. The registrar and registration date are not disclosed in the available intelligence. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as compromised infrastructure. Blocking the IP 107.173.18.78 at the network perimeter and monitoring for related subdomains or newly registered lookalike domains is recommended. Given the domain's association with Binance, security teams should prioritize alerts involving cryptocurrency transactions or credential submissions linked to this infrastructure. Further investigation into the hosting provider's network may reveal additional malicious domains sharing the same IP range. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ec0601882907df5ae3c9c1f2535f60ec3987995a86fafd527fd1167e6c9cddb6 ## 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/cdn-binance.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cdn-binance.com.cn 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.
