# PhishDestroy threat dossier — faqbitcoin.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 19:09:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/faqbitcoin.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 50.6.35.246 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS31898 Oracle Corporation Hosting org: Oracle Corporation Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: ["ares.trustname.com", "zeus.trustname.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Not Acceptable! HTTP response: 526 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2027-01-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2662c99f7ce15a4cca166b12c833750758104c1e56c49720c107ed85a2e7f274 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - bluehost.com ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 17:31:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 14:34:08 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-06 21:03:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:34:06 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/019dd47e-f9d2-73b1-a355-e7c239552015/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1fce3604-a567-47c8-a8cd-0877ea1bf615 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/faqbitcoin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.faqbitcoin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=faqbitcoin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/faqbitcoin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/faqbitcoin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 17:32:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies faqbitcoin.com as an active domain engaged in fraudulent Bitcoin brand impersonation, posing a direct threat to users seeking legitimate cryptocurrency resources. This domain resolves to IP address 50.6.35.246 and is registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, further distancing it from official Bitcoin infrastructure. The domain was created on May 05, 2017, indicating it has been in operation for over six years, long enough to accumulate trust under false pretenses before being weaponized against unsuspecting visitors. Technical indicators reveal a high-risk threat profile. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, allowing this fraudulent domain to evade immediate detection despite its malicious intent. The use of a Sectigo Limited SSL certificate provides a false sense of security, as the domain leverages cryptographic validation to appear legitimate while hosting content designed to deceive Bitcoin users. Additionally, this domain operates without inclusion in major blocklists at the time of analysis, making it particularly dangerous for those accessing it through direct navigation or unfiltered search results. Users who have visited or may encounter faqbitcoin.com should immediately cease any interaction with the site and verify the domain's legitimacy through official Bitcoin channels. Do not enter personal information, wallet credentials, or cryptocurrency addresses on this domain under any circumstances. Clear your browser cache and consider running a full antivirus scan to detect any potential residual threats. Report this domain to your local cybersecurity authorities and cryptocurrency fraud reporting platforms to help prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-3A2F46 Favicon MD5: c9969290d93dced25e7a0f6fadf98911 TLS cert SHA-256: 2662c99f7ce15a4cca166b12c833750758104c1e56c49720c107ed85a2e7f274 ## 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/faqbitcoin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=faqbitcoin.com 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.
