# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fintechgrantbank.sbs ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-25 23:58:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fintechgrantbank.sbs/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Banking Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot, alphaMountain.ai URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.84.200 (US, Cheyenne) ASN: ASAS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ns5.asurahosting.com, ns5.my-control-panel.com, ns6.asurahosting.com, ns6.my-control-panel.com Registered: 2026-03-10 Page title: Home - Fintech grant Bank ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 106e3098139eb2dc6e1aec5ab8c5b058e6537e524e7caf33045fc90d4ebb4b0c ## 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: 2026-03-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-10 11:00:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-10 08:01:07 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 00:21:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 12:08:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019cd6c2-18a0-740d-9c7c-dbb4d4ac1b36/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/868ac4a3-56e5-4f5a-baf3-f7c27b49c64d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fintechgrantbank.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fintechgrantbank.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fintechgrantbank.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fintechgrantbank.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fintechgrantbank.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:25:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] fintechgrantbank.sbs — Fake Banking Login Portal Investigation This domain, fintechgrantbank.sbs, is identified as a fraudulent banking portal designed to harvest user credentials. The site mimics legitimate financial institutions by presenting a fake login interface labeled 'Home - Fintech grant Bank,' targeting individuals seeking banking services or grants. Visitors entering personal or financial details risk unauthorized account access, identity theft, and financial fraud, as the portal transmits captured data to threat actors operating the infrastructure. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on March 10, 2026, through Dynadot LLC, a known registrar frequently used in phishing operations. The domain resolves to the IP address 198.251.84.200, hosted under AS53667 (FranTech Solutions), a provider commonly associated with malicious activity. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, with 17 out of 95 engines detecting it as malicious. The site's SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), provides a false sense of security while failing to validate the legitimacy of the operation. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, further confirming its malicious intent. Individuals who accessed fintechgrantbank.sbs should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, refrain from entering any credentials or personal information on the site. If login details were submitted, users must change passwords for all associated financial accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized transactions or signs of identity theft. Notify financial institutions of potential exposure and consider reporting the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities or fraud reporting platforms. The domain is currently offline, but users should remain vigilant for similar phishing attempts targeting financial services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260310-9095A5 TLS cert SHA-256: 106e3098139eb2dc6e1aec5ab8c5b058e6537e524e7caf33045fc90d4ebb4b0c ## 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/fintechgrantbank.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fintechgrantbank.sbs 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.
