Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies govbtcclaim.org as a crypto drainer domain designed to steal cryptocurrency assets. The domain was registered on July 6, 2025, and presented itself under the page title "GovBTCClaim Portal," likely attempting to lure users with a fraudulent government-related cryptocurrency claim interface. This classification is based on its malicious intent to drain crypto wallets rather than traditional phishing for credentials. Technical analysis reveals that govbtcclaim.org was registered via NameCheap, Inc. and resolved to the IP address 76.76.21.61. The domain has been flagged on four different security blocklists and received a low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft. VirusTotal flagged this domain by 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating some recognition by the security community but not widespread detection. The infrastructure suggests a targeted scam setup for siphoning cryptocurrency funds through deceptive means. Currently, govbtcclaim.org is taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant and avoid revisiting the domain or clicking any related links. Cryptocurrency holders should verify wallet security and consider using enhanced protection tools to prevent future compromise. Continued monitoring for any domain resurrection or related phishing campaigns is advised. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 149dd45b9055a0e5cf1dbf307b027a11b50516129722d9008fd1dbc551a8d965 ## 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/govbtcclaim.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=govbtcclaim.org 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.
