No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 18:58:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-22 15:57:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-25 13:40:05 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db5e7-cbe6-718f-9396-298fc62113d0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4ecb5f0b-b7da-4fd6-a010-e71a2552b746 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitscrunchs.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitscrunchs.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitscrunchs.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitscrunchs.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitscrunchs.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 18:59:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitscrunchs.live as an active crypto drainer domain engineered to siphon cryptocurrency from unwitting users. This infrastructure masquerades as a legitimate service to trick victims into connecting wallets, where malicious scripts silently drain funds upon authorization. The site’s malicious JavaScript payloads are not yet widely detected and remain under active development, enabling threat actors to refine evasion tactics prior to mass exploitation. Immediate containment is advised to prevent financial losses. Technical indicators confirm this domain is a high-risk threat vector. The domain was registered on April 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently abused in bulk malicious registrations. DNS resolution points to IP 188.114.97.3, which hosts multiple suspicious domains and has low trust scores across threat intelligence platforms. Current VirusTotal analysis shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating this threat is still in its early stages of deployment and has not yet triggered widespread detection signatures. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate adds a false sense of legitimacy, tricking users into believing the site is secure. Mitigation requires a multi-layered defensive strategy. Security teams should block traffic to bitscrunchs.live and 188.114.97.3 at the network perimeter using DNS sinkholing or firewall rules. End users must be warned against visiting the domain and advised to verify URLs prior to wallet connections. Security solutions should monitor for similar domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, particularly those created in April 2026, to preemptively block emerging threats. Threat hunting queries should focus on domains resolving to 188.114.97.3 with Let's Encrypt certificates and low VirusTotal detections to identify related campaigns. Immediate incident response is critical to prevent cryptocurrency theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-5CCD79 TLS cert SHA-256: 26379babc0fb3b9a91a5556c6f0413aa1a56d80765c445c8ac3ae74cc733e67c ## 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/bitscrunchs.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitscrunchs.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
