# PhishDestroy threat dossier — barbados-exchange.best ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 07:40:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/barbados-exchange.best/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd. Nameservers: harlan.ns.cloudflare.com, wanda.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-13 Expires: 2027-03-13 Page title: Barbados Exchange — Быстрый и безопасный криптообмен | Обмен Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 76941fcda515b3c8036a29626bff9709a3272941660ce8151ac45b7258d570fc ## 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: 2026-03-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 22:00:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 20:04:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 09:00:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb37-02d8-772b-9a72-442ccb62768b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e1093c67-f6bd-48c7-b390-7fcf514e55b5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/barbados-exchange.best crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.barbados-exchange.best Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=barbados-exchange.best AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/barbados-exchange.best URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/barbados-exchange.best/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 22:04:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of barbados-exchange.best indicates an active crypto drainer impersonating a cryptocurrency exchange login portal. The domain leverages a generic top-level domain (.best) and relies on Cloudflare’s nameservers (harlan.ns.cloudflare.com, wanda.ns.cloudflare.com) to obfuscate its hosting infrastructure. Given the lack of detection on VirusTotal and the absence of blocklist entries, this infrastructure remains operational with a current risk level classified as under_investigation. This domain was registered on March 13, 2026, through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd., resolving to IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal scans show 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating minimal or no prior analysis by security vendors. No entries were found in public threat intelligence feeds at the time of assessment. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare’s DNS resolution, which is a common tactic to delay detection and mitigation by obscuring the true hosting origin. To mitigate exposure to this threat, organizations and users should block the domain barbados-exchange.best at the DNS level and inspect network traffic for connections to IP 188.114.97.3. Given the nature of crypto drainers, individuals should verify the authenticity of cryptocurrency exchange domains through official channels and avoid entering credentials or wallet information on untrusted sites. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar domains leveraging .best TLDs or Cloudflare nameservers, as these are frequently associated with short-lived phishing campaigns. Immediate takedown requests should be submitted to the registrar and hosting provider while continuing to track related infrastructure for broader campaign identification. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-7D6192 Favicon MD5: 00547981b6e15ca8312af213ccdb0e60 TLS cert SHA-256: 76941fcda515b3c8036a29626bff9709a3272941660ce8151ac45b7258d570fc ## 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/barbados-exchange.best/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=barbados-exchange.best 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.
