# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitstamp.codes ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 06:44:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitstamp.codes/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 54.215.31.113 (US, San Jose) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (us-west-1) Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Page title: Crypto Exchange Referral Codes (June 2026) | CryptoCodes HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 76af5648511d68f319ecc277175b7333c9308af66dbef1becd5ab4002c99ef37 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-09 14:31:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 12:40:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 18:51:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eac61-dd1d-740b-98ab-e6d188884b2b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c82f7563-a2f5-4c48-82c6-12465317751f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitstamp.codes crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitstamp.codes Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitstamp.codes AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitstamp.codes URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitstamp.codes/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:46:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bitstamp.codes has been assessed as posing an elevated risk due to its confirmed status as a generic phishing site. The threat involves unauthorized users attempting to deceive visitors into providing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial data, by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency exchange referral services. Analysis indicates that bitstamp.codes is currently taken offline and blocked by multiple security vendors, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. The domain is registered through Dynadot LLC and resolves to the IP address 54.215.31.113. VirusTotal reports that 4 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. The site has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt and employs technologies such as HSTS and Cloudflare, which can mask the true nature of the site. The domain appears on three security blocklists and has been mentioned in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The combination of these technical indicators and the presence on multiple blocklists strongly suggests that the domain has been used for phishing activities. To mitigate the risks associated with this phishing site, users should avoid visiting the domain and refrain from clicking on any links that lead to it. Organizations should update their security policies to block access to bitstamp.codes and educate employees about the signs of phishing attacks, particularly those related to cryptocurrency exchange referral codes. Network administrators should consider implementing DNS-based filtering to prevent access to the domain and monitor for any attempts to resolve the IP address 54.215.31.113. Additionally, it is recommended to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all cryptocurrency exchange accounts to add an extra layer of security against potential credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260609-93DDBB Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 TLS cert SHA-256: 76af5648511d68f319ecc277175b7333c9308af66dbef1becd5ab4002c99ef37 ## 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/bitstamp.codes/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitstamp.codes 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.
