Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bitex-trading.com Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected Analysis of bitex-trading.com indicates that the domain was registered on March 13, 2024 through Dynadot Inc and remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 178.32.82.179, and the authoritative name servers are listed as ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com. The domain has been flagged by multiple threat intelligence sources: VirusTotal reports that 11 of 91 scanning engines have identified malicious activity associated with the domain, and the PhishDestroy service has added it to its blocklist. Additionally, the domain appears on a single external security blocklist, reinforcing the consensus that it is being used for phishing purposes. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been published in the current intelligence set, leaving those vectors unverified at this time. The limited visibility of the hosting environment suggests the operator may be leveraging a shared or compromised server to reduce attribution. Defenders should prioritize immediate network-level denial of traffic to bitex-trading.com and its resolved IP address, enforce DNS filtering using the known malicious name servers, and monitor for any outbound connections to the associated IP range. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal or comparable multi‑engine platforms is advised to capture any evolution in the domain's threat profile, and inclusion in internal phishing‑email detection rules is recommended to mitigate credential‑ harvesting attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-F362E7 Favicon MD5: 9ad9d303ee45b0d070e2c430744bebdf TLS cert SHA-256: c6f35e78de39e9f55cac2be4e3edfa3fbbcf96784841ba692ac66c1004a92f14 ## 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/bitex-trading.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitex-trading.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.
