Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies btc-to-xmr.exchange as a phishing domain that targets cryptocurrency users. The site poses a significant risk by impersonating legitimate BTC to XMR exchange services, potentially leading to the loss of funds or sensitive information. Although currently offline, its presence on a security blocklist and detection by some security vendors highlight its malicious nature. This phishing site tricks users by offering anonymous and instant cryptocurrency swaps without KYC, a popular promise among privacy-conscious users. Once visitors attempt to use the platform, they may be prompted to provide wallet details or private keys, which attackers can exploit to steal assets. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP 188.114.96.3. If you have visited btc-to-xmr.exchange, immediately refrain from entering any sensitive information and monitor your cryptocurrency wallets for unusual activity. Change passwords and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Utilize reputable antivirus tools and report suspicious domains like this to help protect others in the crypto community. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9647e2a01fd47a0df2b9391c99d10147 TLS cert SHA-256: 76a609ef1d85390dd59d0e56ee23b26403edb4d21abe7dc390d81252dbe32181 ## 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/btc-to-xmr.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btc-to-xmr.exchange 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.
