!!! 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.

Is gemini-btc.top a Phishing Site?

The domain gemini-btc.top is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing operation and remains active as of the report date, July 26, 2026. Registration information shows the domain was acquired through NameSilo,LLC, and its authoritative DNS is hosted on Cloudflare, as indicated by the nameservers lennon.ns.cloudflare.com. and penny.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site returns an HTTP 200 response, suggesting that a web server is actively serving content. VirusTotal analysis records six positive detections out of ninety‑one scanned security vendors, providing independent confirmation of malicious intent. The domain also appears on a single external security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing the assessment of malicious activity.

While the available data confirms the domain’s involvement in phishing, the specific payload, targeted brand, or exact phishing kit employed have not been disclosed in the current intelligence set. Consequently, defenders should treat gemini-btc.top as a confirmed phishing threat, enforce network‑level blocking, and incorporate the domain into intrusion‑prevention and URL filtering policies. Continuous monitoring of any changes to its resolution, hosting infrastructure, or detection counts is advised to maintain situational awareness and to respond promptly to potential escalation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       371636f73f99eb4a64e5d0f1a9fa1075
TLS cert SHA-256:      ea9acbc6567719a023dd703ed4c84bf355ab04ab7d0c5ddc8b77297853fa4320

## 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.
