## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Binance

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 13:40:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain io-apps-binance.wixstudio.com is assessed as having an elevated risk level with a specific threat type of brand impersonation. The domain appears to be a malicious attempt to mimic the official Binance platform, potentially leading users to disclose sensitive information such as login credentials and personal data.

Analysis indicates that the domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting that while not a majority, there are significant concerns about its legitimacy. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and was created on June 08, 2026. It appears on one known security blocklist, which further corroborates its suspicious nature. The page title 'Log In | BinaNce© | Sign In™' closely mimics the official Binance login page, which is a common tactic used in brand impersonation attacks to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the genuine site.

To mitigate the risk of brand impersonation, users are advised to verify the URL of the site they are visiting, ensuring it matches the official Binance domain. Additionally, using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Binance accounts can provide an extra layer of security. Organizations should consider implementing domain monitoring tools to detect and block access to such impersonation sites, and users should report any suspicious activity to Binance's support team. Awareness training on recognizing phishing and impersonation tactics is also recommended to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

## 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.
