## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy listed bitcoinmethod.org on its internal blocklist after intake on 2026-10-23, citing fifteen malicious detections from VirusTotal. The recorded page title was “Bitcoin Method ™ | The Official & Updated Website 2025 🥇” and the HTTP response code was 200 when fetched on 2026-10-23.

How the scam works
The detections suggest the domain is associated with phishing or malware distribution, a common approach where deceptive pages aim to harvest credentials or deliver malicious payloads. No concrete on‑page behavior was observed to confirm a particular technique.

Evidence
VirusTotal analysis on 2026-10-21 returned 15 malicious detections out of 92 engines, with vendors such as BitDefender, ESET and Kaspersky labeling the site as phishing or malware. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026-10-23 did not flag the domain, while Cloudflare Radar on the same date marked it as malicious malware. OTX listed two pulses referencing the domain on 2026-10-23, URLScan captured a clean verdict on 2026-07-30, and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist recorded the domain as suspicious; no external blocklists reported it.

Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2023-02-08 through Internet Domain Service BS Corp with a client‑transfer‑prohibited status. Nameservers are ns1.cryptodns.co and ns2.cryptodns.co, and the recorded IP address was 185.98.60.138 hosted by Ideal Hosting Teknoloji A.S. in Turkey. A Let’s Encrypt certificate covering *.bitcoinmethod.org was valid from 2026-09-18 to 2026-12-17, and the site ran Nginx with Vue.js front‑end components.

What to do
Visitors should avoid entering any credentials, cryptocurrency details, or downloading files from this site; if such data were submitted, change passwords and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Defenders can block the exact domain, add it to threat‑intel feeds, review logs for connections to 185.98.60.138, and continue monitoring reputation sources for any status changes.
