“Buy cryptocurrency”
Analysis of www.bitbcw.com indicates an active brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Avalanche cryptocurrency platform. The domain was registered on 1 December 2024 through NameSilo, LLC and is hosted on the IP address 103.205.59.117, which belongs to Better Cloud Limited (AS133744) in Singapore. DNS resolution is provided by ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com and ns3.dnsowl.com. The site lacked an SSL certificate at the time of observation, and the HTTP response returned a “taken offline” status, confirming that the malicious content is no longer reachable.
The page title displayed “Buy cryptocurrency,” which aligns with the advertised lure and reinforces the impersonation of Avalanche’s services. Two of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and it appears on a single external blocklist that is currently leveraged by PhishDestroy. No additional public blocklists or Safe Browsing entries were identified. The limited detection footprint suggests that the site was either short‑lived or not widely indexed before takedown.
Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeters and update endpoint protection signatures to include the observed IP and associated name servers. Monitoring for newly registered domains that resolve to the same host or reuse the “Buy cryptocurrency” title may help uncover follow‑on campaigns. Because the site is offline, direct mitigation is limited to preventive controls; however, threat‑intel sharing with partners is recommended to raise awareness of the Avalanche brand impersonation vector. Further investigation is required to determine whether the infrastructure has been repurposed for other malicious activities.
