benchmarkmediahub.shop is a fraudulent web store that presents itself as Benchmark Media Systems, with that name repeated in its page title. It targets shoppers looking to buy from what appears to be a branded retailer. PhishDestroy first flagged the site on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 it was still online with its storefront content live, so it can still take orders.
How the scam works
Fake shops like this copy the look and name of a real business and list products at prices attractive enough to rush a purchase. Shoppers fill a cart and pay at checkout, but the goods never ship, or something worthless arrives in their place. Along the way the victim hands over their name, delivery address, email, phone number and payment card details. Those details can later be reused for unauthorised charges or follow-up phishing. The Benchmark Media Systems branding exists to borrow trust that the site has not earned.
Evidence
On 2026-10-17, VirusTotal showed 10 of 92 engines flagging the domain. The vendors included alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft and LevelBlue, a spread of independent security companies that reached the same conclusion. urlscan.io rated the site malicious and specifically identified it as a fake shop, which matches our classification. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, showing that other researchers are tracking it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. on 2026-06-05, about four months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap leaves room for a storefront to take orders before blocklists catch up. The site is hosted on the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia. Its free Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a padlock in the browser, but the padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the shop is legitimate.
What to do
If you paid on this site, contact your bank or card issuer immediately, report the transaction as fraud and request a chargeback, keeping your order confirmation and any emails as proof. If you paid by bank transfer, ask your bank about a recall straight away. Watch your statements for unfamiliar charges, and treat any later messages about "delivery problems" or "refunds" as likely phishing. If you created an account there, change that password and any other account that uses the same one. Security teams should block the domain on web proxies and DNS filters, and check logs for users who visited or submitted checkout forms.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
