Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bitstarkltd.com — CFD Trading Phishing Domain Investigation This domain, bitstarkltd.com, is actively impersonating a legitimate CFD trading platform to deceive users into disclosing financial credentials or depositing funds into fraudulent accounts. The site presents itself as Bitstark Inc, offering trading on stocks, gold, oil, and indices, a common tactic in investment scams targeting retail traders. The fraudulent nature is reinforced by the domain's recent creation and low detection rates, suggesting an attempt to evade security measures during early deployment phases. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on January 12, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of the latest scan, only 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, highlighting its current low visibility to automated detection systems. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors. No blocklist entries were identified at the time of this report, further reducing its detectability. Users who have visited bitstarkltd.com or interacted with its content should immediately cease all engagement and revoke any credentials shared. Financial institutions should be notified if transactions were initiated, and affected devices should undergo a full security scan to detect potential malware or backdoors. Browser data, including cookies and cached files, should be cleared to remove any residual tracking mechanisms. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter to prevent further access within corporate or institutional environments.

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 (operator 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/bitstarkltd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitstarkltd.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
