Evidence Summary

HIGH

btc-live.com is a generic phishing domain that was taken offline after being flagged as a threat. The site displayed a 'Site is undergoing maintenance' page, a common tactic used by phishers to mask malicious activity while they prepare fraudulent campaigns. Although no specific brand was impersonated in this case, the domain's structure and behavior are consistent with credential harvesting or cryptocurrency-related scams.

Investigation reveals that btc-live.com was flagged by 9 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, and it appears on one security blocklist. The domain was created on July 01, 2025, and is registered through Hetzner Online GmbH. It resolves to IP address 78.47.65.180, and its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R12). AlienVault OTX reports the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious nature.

As of the latest check, btc-live.com is offline and no longer accessible. However, users who may have encountered this domain should remain vigilant, as phishing domains often reappear under new names or IPs. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain and ensuring that all online accounts use strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication.
