Investigation Brief

vandexbn.com presents itself as "Vandex Bank©" with Login and Open Account buttons, but it is a brand impersonation site targeting the real Vandex bank brand. Independent security research identifies it as phishing and fraud, and 11 antivirus families have flagged it as malicious. The domain is only 227 days old and hosted on an IP with a high abuse confidence score. This is a credential-harvesting operation designed to steal banking login details.

Brand Impersonation and Phishing Infrastructure

External security research explicitly identifies vandexbn.com as a brand impersonation site targeting Vandex, a recognized bank brand. The site uses the name "Vandex Bank©" and displays Login and Open Account buttons, which are the classic interface of a credential-harvesting portal designed to capture banking usernames and passwords.

The domain was flagged by 13 out of 92 security engines at the time of the scan, with multiple detections describing it as phishing or fraud-related. A separate saved antivirus observation shows 11 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result, confirming the detection is real and not a single-vendor false positive.

The hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 70/100 across 267 saved reports, indicating the server is part of malicious infrastructure used for phishing and fraud campaigns.

Technical Checks Versus Operator Risk

The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection. These are clean technical signals, but they only mean no active blocklist entry or certificate error was observed at scan time. They do not establish that the site is safe or legitimate.

The registrable domain is only 227 days old, which is consistent with a recently created phishing domain. The site claims to be a banking institution but provides no verifiable regulatory information, banking license, or corporate registration details. The operator remains anonymous.

The presence of a contact email on the site's own domain and a postal address on the page are not favourable signals by themselves, as scam sites routinely print such details to appear legitimate. They do not offset the strong adverse evidence from security vendors and research.

Why the score is 12

11 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

What this means for you

What Happens If You Enter Your Credentials

A visitor who clicks the Login button on this fake banking portal and enters their username and password would be sending those credentials directly to the attackers operating the site. The site is a brand impersonation targeting Vandex bank customers.

How the observed mechanism works

The evidence-backed path

Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.

  1. The harvested credentials could then be used to access the victim's real bank account, leading to financial theft. The site also features an Open Account button, which could be used to collect additional personal information under the false pretext of opening a bank account.

Do not enter any personal or banking information on vandexbn.com. If you have already entered credentials, contact your real bank immediately and change your passwords. Treat this site as a phishing operation and report it to your bank's fraud department.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is vandexbn.com a scam or a legit website?
vandexbn.com shows every sign of being a phishing site — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing and clone site. 14 of 93 security engines flag it (13 as outright malicious). The domain is 7 months old through Sav.com, LLC. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is vandexbn.com safe to use?
No — vandexbn.com has a Safety Score of 12/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
I already paid or entered my details on vandexbn.com — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on vandexbn.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on vandexbn.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from vandexbn.com?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did vandexbn.com steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on vandexbn.com, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report vandexbn.com?
You can report vandexbn.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
vandexbn.com looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has vandexbn.com been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 14 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged vandexbn.com, 13 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from October 9, 2026. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is vandexbn.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — vandexbn.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the vandexbn.com domain?
vandexbn.com is 7 months old, registered on March 9, 2026 through Sav.com, LLC. A registration history of under two years is neither a strong positive nor a strong negative signal on its own.
Where is vandexbn.com hosted?
vandexbn.com resolves to an IP operated by Leads Globe in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the vandexbn.com report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 23, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about vandexbn.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
