# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitq.one
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-05-20 10:20:57 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitq.one/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      16/94 security vendors flagged this domain
URLQuery:        3 detections

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.130.236 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
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.

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-23 18:56:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

bitq.one has been flagged for active Bitcoin wallet phishing operations, currently under investigation but exhibiting clear malicious intent. The domain serves as a lure to deceive users into surrendering their cryptocurrency credentials or transferring funds to attacker-controlled wallets. This campaign is particularly dangerous due to its targeted nature and the irreversible financial losses it can inflict on victims.  PhishDestroy identifies this domain as resolving to IP 172.67.130.236 with 0 out of 95 VirusTotal engines flagging it at present. Registered through NameSilo, LLC on April 22, 2026, the domain utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Despite no current detections on VirusTotal or other blocklists, the domain’s recent creation date and infrastructure choices suggest a hastily assembled operation designed to exploit trust in established cryptocurrency services.  Users are urged to avoid interacting with bitq.one or any associated URLs. Organizations should consider blocking the domain at the network level and inspecting DNS logs for any resolution attempts. If exposure has occurred, immediately monitor cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions and reset credentials if credentials were potentially entered on the site. Report any suspicious activity to relevant security teams and consider sharing IOCs (domain, IP, SSL fingerprint) with threat intelligence platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260423-1CD5BC
Favicon MD5:       cef1fdcf0f902d25694d5ea83a3d8e97
TLS cert SHA-256:      7019dfa8d4fd9273d4bf90f627e49cd8274b4a0ce366fd16c303aef514b81386

## 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.
