# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitasht2018.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 20:06:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitasht2018.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 154.198.49.78 (HK, Tung Chung) ASN: ASAS138995 ANTBOX1-AS-AP - Antbox Networks Limited, HK Hosting org: AS138995 Antbox Networks Limited Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: ns1.1233dns.com, ns2.951dns.com Registered: 2026-01-04 Expires: 2027-01-04 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d7bf111968c4a027ceea3dc78cefe8e8d3c58d72a6d419532931ad50f7b3c856 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - bitsaehetj2018.com - icfsi000-salka.top - thduuehso.top ## 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: 2026-01-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:57:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 15:11:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 21:46:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13e0-d581-728c-a972-8829c091adef/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1c991da2-70ab-411f-b737-5ac4922f0fcc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitasht2018.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitasht2018.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitasht2018.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitasht2018.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitasht2018.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 17:06:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, bitasht2018.com, is identified as a high-risk phishing site specializing in cryptocurrency credential harvesting. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, likely deploying wallet-draining scripts or fake login portals to exfiltrate private keys and recovery phrases. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with known cryptocurrency phishing kits, though no specific kit variant has been conclusively attributed at this time. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 04, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 154.198.49.78, which has been linked to prior phishing campaigns targeting financial services. Detection metrics show 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, with classifications ranging from generic phishing to cryptocurrency-specific threats. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to fraudulent sites. As of this report, no Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing is confirmed, though blocklist counts continue to rise. The domain remains active and poses a significant risk to users engaging with cryptocurrency platforms. Response actions include ongoing monitoring for infrastructure changes, such as DNS or IP shifts, and collaboration with hosting providers to assess takedown feasibility. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity via official channels before entering credentials and to employ hardware-based authentication methods where possible. Despite partial vendor detection, the site's continued operation underscores the persistent threat to decentralized finance participants. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-1890F5 Favicon MD5: d6b01ab6ce1d4a8ac6133c11d9108d16 TLS cert SHA-256: d7bf111968c4a027ceea3dc78cefe8e8d3c58d72a6d419532931ad50f7b3c856 ## 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/bitasht2018.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitasht2018.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.
