api.bitgetbs.net Fake Bitget Crypto Exchange Alert

Analysis of api.bitgetbs.net confirms active brand impersonation targeting Bitget, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The domain resolves to 162.245.220.207, hosted by HostUS in the United States, and returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating a live server. It appears on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is flagged by 6 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, reinforcing its classification as high-risk. The domain's naming convention—combining 'bitget' with unrelated suffixes ('bs.net')—aligns with tactics used to deceive users into believing the site is affiliated with the legitimate Bitget exchange. No evidence of a phishing kit or specific payload has been confirmed, but the domain's structure and detection history suggest it is designed to harvest credentials or facilitate fraudulent transactions. Defenders should treat this domain as malicious, block resolution at the DNS level, and monitor for related subdomains or IP reuse. Further investigation into the hosting infrastructure may reveal additional linked domains or campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f4ce1ee2f3d6673445b31572c01793a41059855a717348584b0f49563df33b32

## 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 (operator 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.
