Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitshiftexchange.com as a medium-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting crypto.com. This domain aims to deceive users by mimicking a trusted cryptocurrency platform, potentially to harvest credentials or conduct fraudulent activities. The domain was registered recently on June 11, 2023, through Atak Domain and currently holds a very low trust score of 0/100 on Gridinsoft and 1/100 on Scamadviser. VirusTotal flagged bitshiftexchange.com by 3 out of 95 security vendors, reinforcing suspicions of malicious intent. It also appears on at least one security blocklist and resolves to the IP address 86.107.77.165. The page title “bitshiftexchange.com Home” likely attempts to lend legitimacy to the site. At present, the domain status is offline, which mitigates immediate risk. However, users should remain cautious and avoid any interaction with bitshiftexchange.com, especially given its impersonation of a reputable brand. Continuous monitoring and blocking are recommended to prevent potential resurgence or related scam campaigns. Always verify URLs and use official platforms for cryptocurrency transactions. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: f7674eb53366f325ea3e18d2e6c77e3c6939eab602b9f9e19380caa608d62c6a TLS cert SHA-256: 5dd672d58b0f65a97e553e9913b9472760d043cda53d81952d4093992f3b5115 ## 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/bitshiftexchange.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitshiftexchange.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
