# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitvalley.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 07:50:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitvalley.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, URLQuery URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.111.111.157 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS212238 Datacamp Limited Hosting org: AS212238 Datacamp Limited Registrar: Datacamp.co.uk Nameservers: coco.bunny.net, kiki.bunny.net Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | BitValley HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-18 14:38:16 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-30 09:46:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c712d-d005-703a-bbcb-e52723dafd90/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2116d922-8b20-4322-be66-3f59c00176fe Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitvalley.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitvalley.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitvalley.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitvalley.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitvalley.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 12:22:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bitvalley.finance is a cryptocurrency scam site that impersonates the Ethereum brand. The page title, "Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | BitValley," falsely presents the site as a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platform. The threat posed is financial fraud, as the site likely aims to steal cryptocurrency deposits or login credentials from users seeking a trading service. Technical analysis reveals the site was created on 2026-02-21 and is hosted on IP address 185.111.111.157 in Germany, associated with AS212238 Datacamp Limited. The registrar is Datacamp.co.uk, and the nameservers are coco.bunny.net and kiki.bunny.net. VirusTotal detected malicious activity with 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain. It is flagged by Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, and URLQuery, and appears on 1 blocklist. The site has no SSL certificate. The domain is currently down or offline, reducing immediate risk. However, given its recent creation, lack of encryption, and the impersonation of a major brand, the risk level is high if it becomes active again. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260218-185901 Favicon SHA-256: 03fe3caba05e65b14e4035139eee89b12be87cd0bcf342ac3886770eec3a9962 ## 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/bitvalley.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitvalley.finance 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.
