Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bittrexrecoverydocument.com is an active credential theft threat impersonating the DocuSign brand. It attempts to deceive users by presenting a fake document download page, aiming to harvest sensitive information under the guise of a trusted electronic signature platform. Analysis of the domain reveals it was created on April 24, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. VirusTotal flags this domain with 8 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a significant detection rate for malicious activity. Despite this, it remains active, and current blocklist data highlights it as a high-risk actor within the phishing ecosystem. Given its ongoing activity and the use of brand impersonation involving DocuSign, users and organizations are strongly advised to block and avoid interacting with bittrexrecoverydocument.com. Security teams should update filtering controls to include this domain, educate users about the risks of unsolicited document links, and verify document authenticity through official sources before download or interaction. Immediate mitigation steps can prevent credential compromise and potential downstream impacts on corporate and personal security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260425-20275A Favicon MD5: dd442c5b128754be0147a96e78293bc9 TLS cert SHA-256: 4ea1daaeda309a4d4f7669267315de3fc7ed849a4f603073be1f1f4f3feaff89 ## 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/bittrexrecoverydocument.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bittrexrecoverydocument.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
