# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bittensor.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-22 11:56:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bittensor.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.211.191 Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ["peyton.ns.cloudflare.com", "oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2027-06-14 Page title: Bittensor ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1860d9c7ccc54d18717962781552125c4adf2d63c9920857d2b4f9727a9093a3 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 10:30:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 14:44:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 13:45:56 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:47:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecaf0-32f5-707c-bb26-c380e5c84a56/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9a50a0e3-5f3e-4a95-af19-afee0f0520ca Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bittensor.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bittensor.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bittensor.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bittensor.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bittensor.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bittensor.live has been identified as a generic phishing threat, currently offline, and appears to be impersonating the Bittensor brand. The domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, and was registered through Global Domain Group LLC, with an IP address of 172.67.211.191, created on June 15, 2026, and has been listed on 3 security blocklists, while also being referenced in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, further solidifying its malicious intentions. The current status of the domain is offline, and with its Google Trust Services WE1 SSL certificate, it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain, as it may pose a significant threat to their personal and financial information, and PhishDestroy recommends exercising extreme caution when encountering similar domains, and to always verify the authenticity of a website before providing any sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-118283 Favicon MD5: bc7b2ba5ec7a31b6108bb9837d259f8c TLS cert SHA-256: 1860d9c7ccc54d18717962781552125c4adf2d63c9920857d2b4f9727a9093a3 ## 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/bittensor.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bittensor.live 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.
