PhishDestroy threat report
botalpha.exchange is an impersonation phishing site that presented itself as "BOT ALPHA" on an exchange-themed domain. It was aimed at crypto users drawn in by a trading-bot or exchange brand. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-01. The site has been offline since 2026-09-29 and was still unreachable when last checked on 2026-10-19.
Impersonation pages like this borrow a recognisable name, here "BOT ALPHA", and pair it with a convincing domain so visitors believe they are on the genuine platform. The aim is to get victims to hand over something of value. That can be login details, a wallet connection, or deposits into what looks like a trading account but is controlled by the operators. Money or credentials given to such a page go straight to the scammers, and on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
Twelve of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-09-12. The vendors include Kaspersky, BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, CRDF and alphaMountain.ai. Crypto-specific defences reached the same verdict: MetaMask's blocklist and SEAL both list it alongside PhishDestroy, so many wallet users would see a warning before interacting. Spamhaus carries it in its domain blocklist as spam. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it, which shows other researchers tracked it independently.
The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 2026-08-22, just ten days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap is typical of throwaway phishing domains set up for a single campaign. It was hosted on RouterHosting LLC in the United States and used a free Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the browser therefore said nothing about the site's legitimacy. It stayed live for about four weeks after detection before going dark.
If you deposited funds on this site, assume they are gone. Ignore any later request for "fees" or "taxes" to unlock a withdrawal, since paying more never recovers the money. If you entered a password or seed phrase, change the password everywhere it was reused and turn on 2FA. If you shared a seed phrase, move your assets to a fresh wallet immediately. If you connected a wallet, review and revoke any token approvals you granted. Defenders should block the domain and IP 144.172.107.221, and watch for lookalike BOT ALPHA domains registered on other extensions.
