botexinterlogin[.]online

On 22 July 2026, investigators examined the domain botexinterlogin.online, which is currently taken offline but was previously flagged for brand impersonation targeting Facebook. The site presented the page title "Botex International Bank," a mismatch that suggests the domain was used to lure victims under a financial pretext while the underlying intent referenced Facebook. Registration data shows the domain was created on 22 June 2025 through the registrar UPPERLINK LIMITED, and it resolves to the IP address 198.12.93.82 hosted by HostPapa (AS36352) in the United States. No SSL certificate was observed, indicating the site operated over plain HTTP, a common characteristic of low‑trust phishing infrastructure.

Trust metrics are extremely poor: Gridinsoft assigned a score of 0/100 and Scamadviser a score of 1/100. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal analysis recorded 2 detections out of 95 scanned security vendors, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity.

The elevated risk rating aligns with the combination of a reputable brand target, lack of encryption, and low trust scores. Defenders should ensure the domain is added to local and network‑level blocklists, monitor the associated IP for any residual activity, and consider broader HostPapa IP ranges for additional filtering. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain and its hosting provider is advised to catch any resurgence or related infrastructure.
