Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is bitpays-invest.com a phishing site? Analysis indicates that the domain bitpays-invest.com is currently active and has been identified as a generic phishing operation. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on March 16, 2025 and resolves to the IPv4 address 178.32.82.176. Infrastructure inspection shows that the authoritative name servers are ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com, both of which are associated with the same hosting provider. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing feed has flagged it. VirusTotal reports that three out of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of malicious intent. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are available in the current intelligence set, leaving the exact surface‑level behavior of the site unverified. Defenders should treat any traffic to bitpays-invest.com as hostile. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain to local deny lists, configuring network firewalls to drop outbound connections to the resolved IP address, and ensuring that email gateways block URLs containing the domain. Continuous monitoring of the IP address and name server records is advised, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for further campaigns. Organizations should also watch for related indicators such as the ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com name servers appearing in other threat feeds. Because the domain remains active, proactive blocking is the most effective defense. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-717D39 Favicon MD5: 072b20aee6774de33560227356819754 TLS cert SHA-256: 4e13caa10bf48f43b63ffd470a81ed0698f0082bae3788de78bc97d1d2a44215 ## 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/bitpays-invest.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitpays-invest.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.
