Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain bitcointradeapp[.]live has been identified as a cryptocurrency phishing website. This malicious site targets Web3 users by mimicking legitimate crypto platforms to steal wallet credentials and digital assets. Attack Analysis Phishing sites in the cryptocurrency space commonly employ wallet-draining techniques, fake token approval requests, and seed phrase harvesting to steal digital assets from unsuspecting victims. Risk Indicators - Domain registered on live TLD - Contains cryptocurrency-related keywords - Domain length: 20 characters - Drainer Detected Protection Tips Always verify URLs before connecting your wallet. Use bookmarks for frequently visited crypto platforms. Enable transaction simulation tools to preview what you're signing. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-C4AE65 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 2a41f75b266c7fc12edb594bcea190b005815b5ef4fa85add40e980acd247172 ## 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/bitcointradeapp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcointradeapp.live 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.
