Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitco-claim.com as an active brand-impersonation domain targeting Bitcoin users. The site mimics legitimate Bitcoin-related services to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency. bitco-claim.com was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, launched on May 02, 2026, and currently remains unblocked by major threat intelligence feeds. The domain’s low detection ratio and use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggest an attempt to appear trustworthy while evading immediate suspicion. This domain poses a high risk due to its active status and direct impersonation of the Bitcoin brand. Users should immediately block bitco-claim.com at network and endpoint levels, refrain from interacting with any content hosted on this domain, and report the site to relevant authorities and cryptocurrency fraud units. Organizations are advised to update firewall rules and DNS sinkholes to prevent accidental access. Continuous monitoring for similar brand impersonations is strongly recommended to mitigate further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260504-953BE2 Favicon MD5: 6ce52cd7d551240641c46793973a3223 TLS cert SHA-256: 01a8efde35aaeb94774ab9b485f3acd01e108e008f373901379e1756588f8ff7 ## 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/bitco-claim.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitco-claim.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.
