Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitcoinhyper.com as an active domain engaged in brand impersonation, targeting the well-known Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Although classified as low risk, this domain aims to deceive users by mimicking Bitcoin’s brand, which could lead to confusion or attempts to trick users into unauthorized transactions or divulging sensitive information. This underscores the ongoing need for vigilance against phishing attempts exploiting popular crypto brands. The domain bitcoinhyper.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, via NameCheap, Inc., and hosts a website titled "Bitcoin Hyper Official Website | BTC Hyper Layer 2 Presale." Despite its polished branding, the site demonstrates poor technical hygiene, reflected in a low PageSpeed score of 20/100 typical of hastily created phishing infrastructure. It resolves to IP 172.66.44.149 and is currently active. Notably, it appears on one security blocklist and is mentioned in a single AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. VirusTotal flags it with 2 out of 95 security vendors, and its Gridinsoft trust score is a near-negligible 1/100. Users are advised to exercise caution and avoid engaging with bitcoinhyper.com, especially refraining from submitting any personal or financial information. Given the domain’s impersonation of Bitcoin, users should verify all URLs carefully and only use official Bitcoin websites and trusted wallets. Staying informed and verifying sources remain critical steps in mitigating risks posed by emerging phishing sites like bitcoinhyper.com. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1774621300-bitcoinhyper.co Favicon MD5: bad59ffdf685fdc12cc6e1d641b5474c TLS cert SHA-256: 61c8ae7b7a3f7c6f1647e5bda2709a8d0baaed054da454a41dfea6a9eb3446fd ## 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/bitcoinhyper.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcoinhyper.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.
