## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.214.74.84 (NL, Kerkrade)

## 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

chainbasedrops.co: Binance Impersonation Scam

This domain poses a significant threat as it impersonates Binance, a well-known cryptocurrency brand, in an attempt to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. The evidence against chainbasedrops.co is substantial, with 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, and it has been found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, while also appearing on 2 security blocklists, having been created on February 21, 2026, and initially resolving to the IP address 185.214.74.84. 
   
   The domain's malicious nature is further underscored by its use of an R10 SSL certificate, which, although providing a layer of encryption, does not validate its legitimacy as a trustworthy site. Given these technical indicators and the fact that it has been taken offline, likely due to its nefarious activities being discovered, users are advised to exercise extreme caution.

   If users have visited chainbasedrops.co, they should immediately verify the legitimacy of any interactions they had with the site on PhishDestroy, and take necessary steps to secure their accounts, including changing passwords and monitoring their financial transactions closely, as the primary goal of such impersonation scams is often to drain the victim's cryptocurrency holdings.

## 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.
