Domain was flagged dead on 2026-03-01 03:42:53 UTC but a fresh report was filed on 2026-03-06 11:36:24 UTC — it is back or never truly suspended.

Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bethead.me as a high-risk generic phishing domain, primarily aimed at users interested in cryptocurrency betting platforms. The domain, registered in February 2026 through Key-Systems GmbH, was flagged by 17 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors and appears on one security blocklist. Its low trust scores from Scamadviser (11/100) and Gridinsoft (1/100) further emphasize its suspicious nature. The site resolved to IP 188.114.96.3 and was known for a fraudulent page titled "Bethead: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain." Currently offline, the domain presents an immediate threat to users attempting to access crypto gambling services. Users are advised to avoid engagement, maintain updated security measures, and rely on official platforms. PhishDestroy continues monitoring for any resurgence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1772505681-bethead.me Favicon SHA-256: c164e1ea36438d14fea9b88996d154275a4c92fd80bfa082c7e00a343f241147 ## 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/bethead.me/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bethead.me 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.
