# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitpanda-desktop.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-25 07:06:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitpanda-desktop.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 91.92.241.250 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Hosting org: Omegatech LTD Registrar: Squarespace Domains LLC Nameservers: nsd1.squarespacedns.com, nsd2.squarespacedns.com, nsd3.squarespacedns.com, nsd4.squarespacedns.com Registered: 2026-06-14 Expires: 2027-06-14 Page title: Bitpanda – The Desktop App for All Your Investments ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: dcf9c9a4e1004b9d44e01c04452f579ec265fec2b71b55bde13ae99a6b057f3b ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 09:37:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 14:40:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-25 03:40:49 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/019ecf5c-2427-767f-a556-c814176051f2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f53798ca-2f78-4d6e-919e-006b46ea0ce2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitpanda-desktop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitpanda-desktop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitpanda-desktop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitpanda-desktop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitpanda-desktop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:39:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is bitpanda-desktop.com a Cryptocurrency Credential Theft Scam? The domain bitpanda-desktop.com is identified as a credential theft operation specifically targeting cryptocurrency users by impersonating Bitpanda, a legitimate digital asset trading platform. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest login credentials, private keys, or wallet recovery phrases under the guise of a desktop application download. As of the latest verification, the domain has been taken offline, though its infrastructure remains a documented threat. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 14, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC, a registrar frequently observed in fraudulent campaigns. It resolves to the IP address 91.92.241.250, a host previously associated with malicious activity. The domain is flagged by 4 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on three security blocklists, and has been referenced in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common choice among threat actors due to its low barrier to entry and lack of identity validation. The page title, 'Bitpanda – The Desktop App for All Your Investments,' directly mimics official branding to deceive users. Current status confirms the domain is offline, though residual risk persists due to cached records or potential reactivation. Users who accessed the site prior to takedown are advised to immediately revoke any session tokens, rotate passwords, and monitor connected wallets for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include 91.92.241.250 and bitpanda-desktop.com, and verify endpoint logs for connections to either indicator. Cryptocurrency platforms are urged to proactively warn users about brand impersonation tactics and reinforce multi-factor authentication requirements. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-C6A016 TLS cert SHA-256: dcf9c9a4e1004b9d44e01c04452f579ec265fec2b71b55bde13ae99a6b057f3b ## 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/bitpanda-desktop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitpanda-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.
