# PhishDestroy threat dossier — btcreatives.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 20:31:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/btcreatives.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.198.79.1 (US, Walnut) ASN: ASAS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["dns1.registrar-servers.com", "dns2.registrar-servers.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-02-10 Page title: Landing Page ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2a35f41fca95477fb1ddd598b204b847c9edb0bb58fcaee1b007e5de9003563b ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 09:56:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:51:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 06:13:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c4b69-aaa0-720d-9d1b-94b2961e8c75/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0dec821e-bf78-4150-acb4-42f297e7b00a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/btcreatives.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.btcreatives.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=btcreatives.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/btcreatives.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/btcreatives.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:54:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified btcreatives.site as a domain involved in generic phishing activities. Classified as a low-risk phishing domain, it was primarily used to host a landing page designed to deceive users. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and despite its malicious intent, it maintained a low trust score, reflecting limited impact or reach. Technical analysis reveals that btcreatives.site resolved to the IP address 216.198.79.1 and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. Security tools like Gridinsoft assigned it a trust score of 0/100, indicating minimal reputation. The domain appeared on just one security blocklist, and VirusTotal flagged it with only 2 out of 95 vendors detecting malicious activity, corroborating its low-risk classification. Currently, btcreatives.site is offline, having been taken down following detection efforts. Although the domain’s phishing activities were limited in scale, PhishDestroy recommends continued vigilance and monitoring for similar emerging threats. Users and organizations should maintain updated security measures to mitigate potential risks from such suspicious domains. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-66695B TLS cert SHA-256: 2a35f41fca95477fb1ddd598b204b847c9edb0bb58fcaee1b007e5de9003563b ## 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/btcreatives.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btcreatives.site 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.
