Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies buycoin.sbs as a high-risk crypto drainer domain that impersonates Coinbase to exploit cryptocurrency users. This domain employs social engineering tactics to deceive victims into authorizing wallet drainers via Wallet Connect Abuse kits. Such schemes pose significant financial risks by siphoning funds from unsuspecting users’ crypto wallets. The domain buycoin.sbs was registered through NameSilo, LLC and created recently on October 22, 2025. It resolves to IP address 172.67.157.217 and has been flagged on two security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that 12 out of 95 security vendors detect malicious activity linked to this domain. Google Safe Browsing categorizes it under social engineering due to its phishing techniques designed to trick users into compromising their crypto assets. Currently, buycoin.sbs is offline following detection and takedown efforts. PhishDestroy strongly recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain or related links. Users should verify URLs carefully and use trusted wallet connections only. Continuous monitoring and prompt reporting of suspicious domains like buycoin.sbs help protect the crypto community from emerging wallet draining threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: fe3b4b4ed1b8cbfb3e08c26f73f7d62c9ae2b6a25ca577574ff4e211ac2d56cc ## 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/buycoin.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=buycoin.sbs 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.
