bytewaveminers.com Generic Phishing Alert

bytewaveminers.com is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered on March 09, 2025 through Global Domain Group LLC and is hosted on the IP address 198.251.88.6. DNS resolution uses four nameservers: ns1.asurahosting.com, ns2.asurahosting.com, ns1.my‑control‑panel.com, and ns2.my‑contro (truncated). The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service.

VirusTotal records show that the domain has been examined by 91 scanning engines, none of which reported a detection at the time of analysis. No additional public threat intelligence sources such as OTX or Google Safe Browsing have been linked to the domain, and no SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information are available in the current dataset. The limited visibility into the hosted content means that the exact phishing payload and targeted brand remain unknown.

Defenders should treat the domain as malicious based on its active status, blocklist presence, and the fact that it has been flagged by a dedicated anti‑phishing platform. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain and its resolving IP address to network deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for the listed nameservers, and employing URL filtering solutions that reference the PhishDestroy blocklist. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis may reveal additional indicators such as malicious payloads, credential‑stealing pages, or associated command‑and‑control infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260727-35156E
Favicon MD5:       b9e9cfccd15ebf492b4410f605037a10

## 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.
