Restaurant Brands InternationalPrivate external findings / Burger King India

One fake franchise portal. Nine campaign domains. One connected operation.

Outtake connected an active Burger King India impersonation portal to a broader multi-brand franchise-fraud network through shared hosting, registration timing, certificates, cPanel infrastructure, repeated forms, and template reuse. Nothing of RBI's was compromised. This is external impersonation.

01 / Outtake-observed evidence
Active as of 24 Aug 2026

A fraudulent Burger King India portal was one node in a coordinated franchise-fraud operation.

The report supports a single-operator assessment across nine campaign domains. Five nodes were deep-scanned. Four remain unverified and are included on co-hosting and naming pattern only.

Finding A / malicious / 0.97

burgerkingfranchiseindia[.]online

An active franchise application portal used Burger King identity and a generic WordPress stack to collect personal information from prospective investors. No RBI or franchisee system compromise was observed.

Seed / registered 14 Aug 2026
Finding B / network

Five deep-scanned sites. Four pattern-confirmed leads.

The seed and four related nodes were assessed malicious. Four additional nodes were parked as high-priority leads because direct same-operator evidence was not yet established.

9 campaign domains / 34 parked leads
Finding C / operator fingerprint

The template reuse left a concrete fingerprint.

The Nike-themed site contained embedded Nykaa franchise imagery, supporting the report’s conclusion that one content base was duplicated across unrelated brand impersonation sites.

Tier and confidence not assigned
02 / Investigation path

Shared infrastructure turned a single signal into a campaign view.

The graph shows only supported relationships. Per-edge confidence is omitted because the flattened report does not reliably map each weight to a specific edge.

04 / Next investigation paths

Map the dependencies first. Then decide where action can change the campaign.

The report maps infrastructure concentrations as intelligence. It does not prescribe a ranked takedown plan. Recommendations remain separate from factual coverage.

Report recommendations
HIGH

Enumerate the two cPanel accounts through Certificate Transparency pivots.

HIGH

Deep-scan the remaining four nodes to complete or constrain the campaign map.

MEDIUM

Cross-check the GTM container across all nine sites.

MEDIUM

Enumerate the naming pattern across additional Indian consumer brands and RBI’s other brands.

Private working session

Replay the campaign. Validate scope. Prioritize the next investigation.

Review the evidence, the open attribution questions, and how Outtake can extend the same autonomous workflow across RBI’s external surface without overstating remediation or outcome.
