# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitpay.ticketbase.help ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 01:00:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitpay.ticketbase.help/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: Base ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 157.173.209.217 (US, Boston) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2025-11-10 Expires: 2026-11-10 Page title: This Page Does Not Exist HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-11-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-11-13 17:23:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 03:46:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a7e3d-f190-77f5-9972-d0a5cd853083/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitpay.ticketbase.help crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitpay.ticketbase.help Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitpay.ticketbase.help AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitpay.ticketbase.help URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitpay.ticketbase.help/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 13:37:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bitpay.ticketbase.help displayed a page title "This Page Does Not Exist" and impersonated the brand Base. It was identified as a Crypto Scam, posing a threat by attempting to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent cryptocurrency-related activities under a false brand association. Technical evidence shows the site was flagged by 10 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, and Fortinet. It appeared on 2 blocklists. The domain was registered with NameSilo, LLC on 2025-11-10, hosted at IP address 157.173.209.217 in the US under AS47583 Hostinger International Limited, and used nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com. No SSL certificate was detected. GridinSoft assigned a trust score of 0/100. The site is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. Based on the high detection rate, zero trust score, and lack of SSL, the risk level is high for any user who previously interacted with the domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: e7db95c97a5d45787cc3e40cbcb93b748fefc65bc14e162c746e37f979861729 ## 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/bitpay.ticketbase.help/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitpay.ticketbase.help 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.
