Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitwaytrade.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns21.domaincontrol.com", "ns22.domaincontrol.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Expires:         2026-12-10

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 00:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:43:02 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 14:51:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, bitwaytrade.com, operates as a high-risk crypto phishing site designed to steal wallet credentials and digital assets. Victims are typically lured through fake investment platforms, deceptive airdrop offers, or impersonation of legitimate crypto services. The site may prompt users to connect wallets, enter seed phrases, or authorize malicious transactions, leading to immediate asset theft.  Analysis indicates this domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, an unusual registration pattern given the future date, suggesting potential domain spoofing or backdating. As of the latest assessment, 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag bitwaytrade.com as malicious, with detections from specialized crypto threat engines. The domain appears on three independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple wallet protection systems, reinforcing its classification as an active threat.  If you visited bitwaytrade.com or interacted with its content, immediately disconnect any connected wallets from the site and revoke all active session permissions. Scan your device for malware using updated security tools, and monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to relevant fraud reporting platforms and consider migrating assets to a new wallet if credentials were exposed. Avoid re-engaging with the domain or any associated links, as the infrastructure remains active and under the control of threat actors.

## 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.
