Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bitex1.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis conducted on 27 July 2026 confirms that the domain bitex1.com remains active and is associated with a generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered on 26 March 2025 through Namecheap Inc and is hosted on the IP address 188.114.96.3. DNS resolution shows the authoritative nameservers dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com and trevor.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly listed by the PhishDestroy blocklist service, confirming its categorisation as a phishing resource. VirusTotal analysis reports that one out of ninety‑one scanning engines submitted a detection for the domain, reinforcing the presence of malicious activity. No additional public threat‑intel sources such as OTX or Google Safe Browsing are referenced in the available data. The lack of a documented page title, HTTP response codes, SSL certificate details, or content analysis means that the precise lure or credential‑harvesting technique employed by the site cannot be definitively described at this time. Defenders should continue to block traffic to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and add bitex1.com to local and network‑wide deny lists. Monitoring of DNS queries for the Cloudflare nameservers dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com and trevor.ns.cloudflare.com is advised to detect any future resolution attempts. Organizations using email filters should ensure that messages containing links to bitex1.com are quarantined or rejected. Ongoing scanning with multi‑engine services such as VirusTotal is recommended to capture any change in detection count, and periodic re‑evaluation of the domain’s status on blocklists should be performed. Until further content‑level analysis is available, the domain should be treated as a high‑risk phishing vector. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-B415C2 Favicon MD5: 343f6ef9809a991cab27d7c98fc6742a TLS cert SHA-256: 379855a7b19c169a81159298d8f5c4fcd79552080dba8c2da4ac9c36afaa32ab ## 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/bitex1.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitex1.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.
