# PhishDestroy threat dossier — airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 00:14:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 62.72.49.50 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ["ns1.dns-parking.com", "ns2.dns-parking.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-11-01 Page title: Airdrop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-03-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 432a1f00f485ccb0d767ad37a76705bbf742c6c7600f12b29f3f291861d8c778 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 19:24:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf07d-e394-74d4-97d5-94b19a04d24b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b15b3f2f-d93c-4772-8d93-530d0b5ac028 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:36:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance as a low-risk crypto drainer domain targeting cryptocurrency users through fake airdrop offers. The domain was designed to trick victims into revealing wallet credentials or private keys, potentially leading to unauthorized fund withdrawals. The domain resolves to IP address 62.72.49.50 and was registered via HOSTINGER operations, UAB on February 21, 2026. Although only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged it, it appears on at least one security blocklist, indicating some detection by threat intelligence sources. The page title 'Airdrop' suggests lure tactics common in crypto scams. Currently, the domain is offline and no longer resolving, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to avoid engaging with suspicious airdrop promotions and verify legitimacy through trusted channels. Continuous monitoring is recommended to watch for any domain resurrection or related phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260124-4AC240 Favicon SHA-256: 344c2e37abb3aacf06077aa762e8c5c4af05a6369f760f7ab1ee9dc69c583a56 TLS cert SHA-256: 432a1f00f485ccb0d767ad37a76705bbf742c6c7600f12b29f3f291861d8c778 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=airdrop.bitcoinexchange.finance Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
