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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 09:39:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 14:39:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:37:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf5e-1876-75a8-b6c9-d762109d98ff/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/292210cc-01dd-4211-b2b7-dd49738412f9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitcoinwell-desktop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitcoinwell-desktop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitcoinwell-desktop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitcoinwell-desktop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitcoinwell-desktop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:47:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bitcoinwell-desktop.com is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting the Bitcoin brand. It poses an elevated risk level and has been used to deceive users into believing it is an official Bitcoin service. The domain's page title, 'Bitcoin Well Desktop — Download,' suggests that it was designed to mimic a legitimate Bitcoin desktop application or wallet, potentially leading users to download malicious software or enter sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals that bitcoinwell-desktop.com has a VirusTotal detection score of 5/95, indicating that while a minority of security vendors flag it as malicious, the domain has been recognized as suspicious. The domain is registered through Squarespace Domains LLC and resolves to the IP address 91.92.241.250. It was created on June 11, 2026, and appears on three security blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. Additionally, the domain has been featured in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further emphasizing its association with malicious activities. The current status of the domain is offline, which reduces the immediate risk to potential victims. However, the domain remains on security blocklists, and its offline status may be temporary. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain or any related URLs, and to ensure that their security software is up to date. Even if the domain is not currently active, it could be brought back online with updated content, potentially posing a renewed threat. Continual monitoring and adherence to best security practices are recommended to protect against future incidents. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-3DB228 Favicon MD5: 4f8796344fcba5912acee9501f5418dc TLS cert SHA-256: a3fbb961b88ba8deb7e1969c867114f18729b2858c5a275e606d51d23ec0d802 ## 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 (operator 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/bitcoinwell-desktop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcoinwell-desktop.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
