claims-base.info: Confirmed Brand Impersonation Site

On July 19, 2026 the domain claims-base.info was observed hosting a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the cryptocurrency platform Base. The site resolves to 172.67.165.195, a Cloudflare address located in Canada, and is served through Cloudflare’s nameservers todd.ns.cloudflare.com and venus.ns.cloudflare.com. An SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1) validates the HTTPS connection, which returns HTTP 200, indicating an active web service. Registration was performed via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and the domain currently appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal reports that five of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain, confirming the presence of malicious indicators. The intelligence categorizes the activity as a brand‑impersonation scam, and the risk level is marked high. While the exact page content and login mechanisms have not been examined, the available infrastructure—public Cloudflare hosting, a valid TLS certificate, and multiple blocklist entries—demonstrates a deliberate attempt to gain user trust. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter and host‑based controls, add it to URL filtering policies, and monitor for any outbound connections to the associated IP. Continued observation of the domain’s DNS and certificate changes is advised to detect possible re‑hosting or diversification of the campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       37e5e75bd3fecb70ad641d75b421a684
TLS cert SHA-256:      2d76ed97358b816d738e3ef5856aa221738cb585da01c722d7895e088607298d

## 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.
