# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fakebinance.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 12:43:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fakebinance.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Binance ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Ermes, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.49.90 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: aron.ns.cloudflare.com, margo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-23 Expires: 2027-04-23 Page title: FakeBinance Alert ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 10c0a97af5f98b72d0ce771457690bd88dad0a1acb1fc61833c32d32625d0a4c ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 02:45:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 00:50:19 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 14:17:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:16:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efc3b-8c45-776a-835e-f8db3305f709/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ac879ce5-a498-436d-a288-3f4abda6a750 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fakebinance.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fakebinance.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fakebinance.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fakebinance.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fakebinance.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 03:00:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of fakebinance.com reveals a high-risk crypto drainer infrastructure designed to impersonate the Binance exchange. The domain employs a generic phishing approach, leveraging brand impersonation to deceive users into submitting credentials or cryptocurrency transactions. No specific drainer kit artifacts are identified in the available telemetry, but the operational pattern aligns with active crypto draining campaigns where harvested credentials or wallet connections result in unauthorized fund transfers. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. Registration occurred on April 23, 2026. VirusTotal analysis shows detection by 3 out of 95 security vendors, suggesting low but present visibility among threat intelligence platforms. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc, a registrar known for accommodating both legitimate and malicious registrations. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) flagging data was available at time of analysis, nor were third-party blocklist counts provided in the dataset. The domain remains actively accessible as of the latest assessment. Immediate defensive actions include domain blocking at network and DNS levels using exact indicators: IP 188.114.97.3, domain name fakebinance.com, and registrar channel Dynadot Inc. Users should avoid interaction with this domain or any subdomains. Remaining risk is assessed as high due to active status, low detection coverage, and the potential for rapid deployment of additional phishing pages or drainer variations. Continuous monitoring is recommended to track infrastructure changes and reduce exposure to credential harvesting or fund loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-223681 Favicon MD5: 5a8eeb36a7a2de3c7247bff902f9d0f2 TLS cert SHA-256: 10c0a97af5f98b72d0ce771457690bd88dad0a1acb1fc61833c32d32625d0a4c ## 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/fakebinance.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fakebinance.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
