# PhishDestroy threat dossier — betahytale.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 01:15:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/betahytale.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 186.2.171.13 (BZ, Belmopan) ASN: AS59692 IQWeb FZ-LLC Hosting org: Iqweb LLC Registrar: CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Nameservers: ["ns01.serverspace.io", "ns02.serverspace.io"] Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: Hytale Multiplayer Beta Test Access ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cf3d3f57ad8bbba21f565ff81260321e244bea0b49019d7be280e0a412f065e5 ## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 18:43:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 15:44:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-21 02:45:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:34:20 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/019dcf9b-681a-77d2-ad0d-68a1e21ff476/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4733a5bd-4570-49a5-892f-18b91036eef9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/betahytale.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.betahytale.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=betahytale.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/betahytale.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/betahytale.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 18:43:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies betahytale.com as an active generic phishing domain engineered to deceive users into divulging sensitive financial or personal information under the pretense of cryptocurrency investments or trading services. Risk level for betahytale.com is currently under investigation, but the presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, absence from 95/95 VirusTotal detections (0/95), association with registrar CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, and resolution to IP address 186.2.171.13 warrant immediate caution. The domain was registered on January 15, 2026, a date that raises suspicion due to its recency and alignment with opportunistic domain squatting patterns targeting emerging trends such as crypto or AI narratives. The lack of detection on VirusTotal suggests it is either very new or employing evasion techniques to bypass signature-based scanning. The primary threat posed by betahytale.com is credential harvesting and financial fraud. Attackers often register domains like this to mimic legitimate investment platforms, enticing users with fake bonuses, high returns, or exclusive access. Once victims register or deposit funds, the platform either disappears with the assets or extracts additional personal and financial data under the guise of KYC verification. Users should avoid any interaction with the site, not click links from unsolicited emails or ads, refrain from downloading files, and report the domain to their security teams or platforms like PhishDestroy. Blocking the IP 186.2.171.13 at the network perimeter can prevent further access. If credentials were entered, immediately change passwords and enable multi-factor authentication on all related accounts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-04A96F Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 TLS cert SHA-256: cf3d3f57ad8bbba21f565ff81260321e244bea0b49019d7be280e0a412f065e5 ## 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/betahytale.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=betahytale.com 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.
