Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bitifinex.live Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected This domain, bitifinex.live, was registered on July 09, 2026 through the registrar Spaceship, Inc. The authoritative name servers are dns1.afeeshost.ltd, dns2.afeeshost.ltd and dns3.afeeshost.com, which resolve the host to the IPv4 address 51.89.6.198. Threat intelligence from PhishDestroy has already placed the domain on its block list, and the domain appears on an additional security blocklist, confirming that active mitigation measures are in place across at least two independent filtering platforms. VirusTotal reports that five of ninety‑one scanned security vendors flagged the domain, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate despite limited coverage. The risk rating assigned to the domain is high, and the current operational status is listed as active, meaning the phishing infrastructure is still reachable. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information have been published, so the surface‑web characteristics of the site remain unknown. Likewise, Safe Browsing, OTX, or other reputation services have not provided additional data points. Defenders should add the IPv4 address 51.89.6.198 and the domain name to outbound and inbound DNS block lists, enforce URL filtering rules that reference the known blocklists, and monitor for any new look‑alike domains registered with the same name‑server set or registrar. Continuous re‑scanning on multi‑vendor platforms such as VirusTotal is recommended to capture any changes in detection status. Organizations that employ email security gateways should ensure that messages containing links to bitifinex.live are quarantined or rejected, given the confirmed generic phishing classification. Because the domain’s creation date is recent, threat actors may be testing infrastructure, so rapid response and ongoing observation are advisable. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-07-09 - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-8A2152 ## 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/bitifinex.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitifinex.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
