## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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: 2026-03-24 00:37:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bitsrecx.com as an active generic phishing domain posing a low-level risk to internet users. Though classified as low risk, phishing threats like this can still deceive users into divulging sensitive information, leading to potential identity theft or fraud. Awareness and caution remain essential in preventing compromise.

The domain bitsrecx.com was created recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 198.12.66.123. It currently appears on one security blocklist, and virus scanning platforms have flagged it only once out of 95 security engines, suggesting minimal but credible suspicion. The page title "Welcome | Bitsrecx" indicates a generic landing page potentially designed to entice users without immediate overt malicious content.

Users should avoid visiting or interacting with bitsrecx.com to mitigate risk. Do not enter any personal or financial information if prompted. Employ updated security software and enable real-time phishing protection where possible. Reporting suspicious sites to security platforms helps reduce phishing impact on the broader community. Vigilance and prompt action remain key defenses against domains like bitsrecx.com.

## 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.
