## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:17:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain fraud-binance.us was registered on June 2, 2026 through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc. It resolves to 104.21.33.113, an IP owned by Cloudflare (AS13335) located in the United States. Authoritative nameservers are abdullah.ns.cloudflare.com and ada.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). Infrastructure analysis shows the web application is built on Node.js, React, Next.js and bundled with Webpack, serving content over HTTP/3. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. AlienVault OTX references the domain in one pulse, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. VirusTotal scans report 7 of 91 security vendors flag the domain as malicious. Risk level is high and the domain remains active as of July 12, 2026. It is classified as a fake exchange impersonating Binance, matching the reported scam type. No public page content has been analysed, so the specific credential‑capture mechanisms are not yet confirmed. Defenders should block the domain at the network perimeter, add it to URL filtering and internal block lists, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its associated IP, and maintain awareness of Cloudflare‑hosted assets tied to the IP address.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c9969290d93dced25e7a0f6fadf98911
TLS cert SHA-256:      f3c545f987bbe61fdd0baae6368731f3e3e65a02ff583cf8c9f9c50b363e4598

## 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.
