# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitcoinbestbuy.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 18:07:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitcoinbestbuy.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 138.197.3.135 (US, Clifton) ASN: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Hosting org: Digital Ocean Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: ["ns1.digitalocean.com", "ns2.digitalocean.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Buying Bitcoins Online: How and Where to Get BTC | BitcoinBestBuy HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2027-01-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0f6972721498350889a83f4dfbca16cbbb7d68e7ec231aa010f6fc187805cd8a Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.bitcoinbestbuy.com ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 17:41:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 14:43:18 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-06 16:12:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:34:05 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/019dd488-231b-7456-a85c-6a29d55787bf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitcoinbestbuy.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitcoinbestbuy.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitcoinbestbuy.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitcoinbestbuy.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitcoinbestbuy.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 17:42:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitcoinbestbuy.com as an active crypto drainer impersonating Bitcoin. The domain was registered on August 13, 2016 and resolves to IP 138.197.3.135. It uses a Sectigo SSL certificate and remains undetected by VirusTotal (0/95 engines). This domain is designed to trick users into connecting crypto wallets or entering seed phrases. Once connected or details are entered, it silently drains cryptocurrency assets without further interaction. The low detection rate and age of the domain suggest it may be newly weaponized or operating under the radar. If you visited bitcoinbestbuy.com, disconnect your wallet immediately, revoke any connected permissions, and transfer remaining funds to a clean wallet. Run a malware scan on your device and change passwords used on this site. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for further analysis and community protection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-6D28FD Favicon MD5: 13ae42ea480c2aac602c29e805abe4fa TLS cert SHA-256: 0f6972721498350889a83f4dfbca16cbbb7d68e7ec231aa010f6fc187805cd8a ## 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/bitcoinbestbuy.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcoinbestbuy.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.
