PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

bitstamp.com.lc is an impersonation phishing domain built around the name of Bitstamp, the cryptocurrency exchange. It targets Bitstamp customers and anyone searching for the exchange. The address swaps the real brand domain for a lookalike under the .lc country-code extension. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-07, and it was still online and serving content when last checked on 2026-10-19.

How the scam works

Exchange impersonation relies on a familiar name and a convincing address. Visitors who believe they are on Bitstamp are prompted to log in. Their email, password and one-time 2FA codes are captured and replayed against the real account to empty it. Variants of this scheme also push victims to deposit crypto or connect a wallet, and anything sent is lost. The page title currently reads "FASTPANEL", the name of a server control panel, while we classify the domain as Bitstamp impersonation phishing.

Evidence

Seven of 92 VirusTotal engines flag the domain as of 2026-10-07: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Kaspersky, LevelBlue and VIPRE. That is a modest count, but it comes from several unrelated vendors. The MetaMask and SEAL blocklists list it alongside PhishDestroy, so wallet users may see warnings before the page loads. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as spam, and it appears in three AlienVault OTX threat pulses.

Infrastructure

The site resolves to 172.236.97.35 on Akamai Connected Cloud's Asia-Pacific Linode network, registered under Singapore, with the IP geolocated to the United States. It uses a free, automatically issued Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the browser therefore only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about who runs the site.

What to do

If you entered Bitstamp credentials here, sign in through the official app or a typed address and change your password immediately. Reset 2FA, revoke active sessions and API keys, and check your withdrawal address whitelist. Contact Bitstamp support if you see logins or withdrawals you don't recognize, and change the password anywhere else you reused it. Never send deposits or enter a recovery phrase on this domain. Defenders should block bitstamp.com.lc at DNS and proxy level, alert on lookalike Bitstamp domains, and report the IP to the hosting provider's abuse channel.

Questions about bitstamp.com.lc

Is bitstamp.com.lc legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies bitstamp.com.lc as a MetaMask impersonation page (risk: critical, 100/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-07. VirusTotal: 7/92 engines flag it. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is bitstamp.com.lc safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on bitstamp.com.lc. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used bitstamp.com.lc?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

After a phishing incident

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including bitstamp.com.lc)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
