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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 01:56:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-31 23:06:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 23:46:16 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 00:33:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e803d-daa7-755f-a590-0fdd837ce200/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c5b8f388-3deb-44f6-b40e-9961b1600c93 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/btc-salenton17.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.btc-salenton17.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=btc-salenton17.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/btc-salenton17.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/btc-salenton17.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:47:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, btc-salenton17.live, operates as a deceptive cryptocurrency trading platform falsely claiming to offer AI-assisted trading services. Analysis indicates the site is designed to mislead users into depositing funds or entering sensitive credentials under the pretense of automated investment tools. The fraudulent nature is reinforced by the domain's recent creation and association with high-risk infrastructure, targeting individuals seeking quick financial gains through emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in trading. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple red flags supporting the classification of this domain as malicious. The domain was registered on May 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently linked to suspicious or fraudulent domains. It resolves to IP address 104.21.37.193, hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335), which is commonly used to obscure the true origin of malicious sites. Security vendors have flagged the domain, with 2 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal detecting it as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, further confirming its involvement in fraudulent activities. Users who have interacted with btc-salenton17.live should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If credentials or financial information were entered, reset passwords for all associated accounts, particularly cryptocurrency wallets and banking platforms, using strong, unique passwords. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Monitor financial statements and transaction histories for unauthorized activity, and report any suspicious transactions to the relevant financial institution. Consider scanning the device used to access the site with updated security software to detect and remove any potential malware. Finally, report the domain to relevant cybersecurity organizations or consumer protection agencies to help prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260531-384221 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 7519cd5c0dccdb799837c6f8eb847a35b92b6b450b4bb303ac9d5a901fdcde98 ## 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 (operator 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/btc-salenton17.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btc-salenton17.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
