Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitboxdesktop.app as a high-risk crypto drainer posing as the legitimate BitBox Desktop Wallet. This fake site aims to trick cryptocurrency users into connecting their wallets or entering private keys, allowing attackers to drain funds directly. The page mimics the official BitBox branding to appear authentic, but it is designed solely to steal digital assets. Users who interact with the site risk losing all cryptocurrency stored in connected wallets. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with an elevated risk rating and confirmed by VirusTotal, where 2 out of 95 security vendors detected malicious activity. The domain bitboxdesktop.app was registered on April 14, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1. It also holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which attackers often exploit to appear legitimate. These details strongly indicate a recently launched phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. If you visited bitboxdesktop.app, do not enter any wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases. Disconnect any connected wallets immediately using your wallet’s security features. Run a full antivirus scan on your device to check for any compromise. To confirm the safety of any crypto-related website, always verify it on PhishDestroy before entering sensitive information. Report this domain to help protect others from falling victim to this crypto drainer. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 14d070be44f2e7fb7b48048092b0aeef ## 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/bitboxdesktop.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitboxdesktop.app 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.
