No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 17:48:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-22 14:48:56 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:02:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019db5a7-2839-709e-8796-c04a84d595de/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a0de8d94-1367-4d8c-85b8-543c1968807d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/botaicrypto.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.botaicrypto.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=botaicrypto.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/botaicrypto.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/botaicrypto.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 17:50:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies botaicrypto.com as a live brand impersonation scam designed to steal login credentials from Crypto.com users. The domain mimics the legitimate crypto exchange’s branding to trick visitors into entering sensitive account details on a fraudulent login portal. Cybercriminals often use similar tactics during high-volume trading events to capitalize on user urgency and lower vigilance. This campaign poses a direct threat to cryptocurrency holdings and personal financial data. This domain was flagged due to its active impersonation of Crypto.com, zero VirusTotal detections as of the latest scan (0/95), and recent domain registration on November 22, 2025. The site is hosted on a server resolving to IP address 145.79.212.140 and leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a commonly abused registrar for short-lived malicious domains. These technical indicators suggest a hastily deployed but potentially effective phishing operation. If you visited botaicrypto.com, immediately check your Crypto.com account for unauthorized transactions and enable two-factor authentication if not already active. Do not enter any login credentials or personal information on the site. Clear your browser cache and cookies related to Crypto.com to remove any session tokens that may have been compromised. Report the domain to Crypto.com’s fraud team and consider running a malware scan on your device to ensure no additional threats were introduced. Always verify website URLs and use official app links or bookmarks for financial platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-D94E30 Favicon MD5: c1008eabe0a4fc8942265f7d71e10fc1 TLS cert SHA-256: 8a183e9d943a1fcc4ca805f3549c43d6d4537184d018dac45aad5d4abe134993 ## 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/botaicrypto.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=botaicrypto.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.
