No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## 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 16:51:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 13:52:56 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-28 19:50:16 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019dd45a-7d2d-7670-8927-e401194b347c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f759a8f2-c078-4cf7-afd2-69fbef8fef01 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitcrunchs.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitcrunchs.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitcrunchs.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitcrunchs.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitcrunchs.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 16:53:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitcrunchs.xyz as an active airdrop scam impersonating the bitsCrunch ($BCUT) brand. This domain employs brand impersonation to deceive users into participating in a fraudulent token distribution scam. The site’s page title explicitly references the $BCUT token, signaling a targeted attempt to leverage the popularity of the bitsCrunch project for illicit gains. Given the domain’s recent creation date and lack of detection on VirusTotal, users should exercise extreme caution when encountering any links or promotions associated with this domain. This domain was flagged after analysis revealed multiple high-risk indicators. bitcrunchs.xyz was created on April 25, 2026, and resolves to IP address 104.21.73.88. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Despite its active status, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating it has evaded widespread recognition as a threat. The site’s connection to an airdrop scam is further corroborated by its page title, which directly ties it to the bitsCrunch ($BCUT) token, a known cryptocurrency project. These factors collectively highlight the domain’s malicious intent and the urgent need for user awareness. To mitigate the risks posed by bitcrunchs.xyz, users should immediately avoid interacting with the domain or any associated links. If you have already engaged with the site, do not enter any personal information, wallet credentials, or cryptocurrency details. Use a reputable ad-blocker or security extension to prevent accidental exposure to similar threats. Report the domain to your local cybercrime unit or platforms like PhishDestroy to aid in its takedown. For organizations, consider blocking the domain at the network level and educating employees about the tactics used in airdrop scams. Remain vigilant for further updates as this domain is under active investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-EE4E22 TLS cert SHA-256: b8565c3beb02dbcc679a077931a66f181173c1758a6c7e9e9411430b17bcfac9 ## 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/bitcrunchs.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcrunchs.xyz 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.
