kingbans.xyz Generic Phishing Campaign

kingbans.xyz was registered through Namecheap Inc on 2026-07-05 and is currently resolved to the IP address 104.21.77.254, served by Cloudflare nameservers ashley.ns.cloudflare.com and otto.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain remains active as of the report date (2026-07-14) and is classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. VirusTotal analysis shows a single detection out of 91 scanned security vendors, indicating that at least one engine has identified malicious behavior. No additional intelligence such as a target brand, page content, or malware kit has been released, so the exact phishing lure remains unknown. The rapid creation‑to‑activation timeline and use of Cloudflare’s CDN suggest an attempt to hide the true hosting location and to enable quick turnover of malicious sites. Defenders should add 104.21.77.254 and the domain kingbans.xyz to block lists, monitor outbound DNS queries for similar newly registered domains, and consider sinkholing traffic to the IP. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain on multi‑engine services is recommended to capture any changes in detection status. Until further evidence emerges, the infrastructure should be treated as actively malicious.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-6A408A
TLS cert SHA-256:      d8aa33d8e60b61b2f1cedbfcc429e575cddbba124f50e75acfa98226498d0406

## 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.
