bytedrop.cfd Safety Check — Phishing Site Detected

Analysis of bytedrop.cfd shows an active web presence that returned HTTP 200 and presents the page title “ByteDrop | EVM Signal Gate”. The domain was registered on July 03 2026 through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, served by Cloudflare nameservers agustin.ns.cloudflare.com and nola.ns.cloudflare.com. VirusTotal records indicate the site was scanned by 91 security vendors, none of which raised a detection; this absence of alerts does not constitute evidence of benign intent. The domain appears in a single AlienVault OTX pulse, confirming that at least one external intelligence source has flagged the address for malicious use. The limited publicly available data points to a generic phishing operation, but the exact tactics, target audience, or credential‑stealing mechanisms have not been disclosed. Because the site is live, serves content, and is already referenced in threat‑intel feeds, defenders should treat the domain as hostile. Recommended actions include adding the host to blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the IP 188.114.97.3, and implementing email and web filtering rules that deny connections to bytedrop.cfd. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as additional indicators may emerge.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-58FA50
TLS cert SHA-256:      17c49de0b304997a7d78e367e353ccc08920e95d2040c9556589b454048e83d2

## 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.
