Hosting org: AWS CloudFront (GLOBAL) Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2025-10-20 Expires: 2026-10-20 Page title: HABIBI - Digital Currency Trading Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Amazon / Amazon RSA 2048 M01 Expires: 2026-11-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 564d6ff6e0476003443c4ed71b49c037d23dededeb45559e517688378904b0a6 ## 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: 2025-10-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-04 16:22:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-17 01:40:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 19:50:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df323-f952-720d-9e60-ff0882a953ff/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/habibi.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.habibi.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=habibi.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/habibi.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/habibi.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-04 16:25:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies Habibi.exchange as an active cryptocurrency drainer phishing domain under investigation for credential theft and fund misappropriation. This fraudulent platform mimics legitimate exchange interfaces to deceive users into surrendering private keys or transferring digital assets to attacker-controlled wallets. The domain is currently unresolved but remains a high-risk threat vector due to its recent creation and suspicious infrastructure alignment with known crypto-phishing campaigns. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the investigation seed 7520d9, indicating a low detection rate despite its malicious intent. Habibi.exchange resolves to IP address 108.157.142.92, uses an Amazon-issued SSL certificate for legitimacy deception, and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on October 20, 2025. The domain exhibits no current blocklist presence, maintaining a deceptive clean record while actively propagating via social engineering vectors. Trust scores remain critically low due to its association with zero vendor detections and freshly minted infrastructure. Current status remains active with an 'under_investigation' classification, suggesting escalation potential as additional threat intelligence emerges. Users and organizations are advised to block Habibi.exchange at the network perimeter via DNS sinkholing or firewall rules targeting its IP and domain. Immediate reporting to abuse channels such as NameCheap, VirusTotal, and relevant crypto-security forums is recommended to accelerate takedown procedures. Exercise heightened scrutiny for this domain in email campaigns, social media promotions, or unsolicited trading platform invitations, as it continues to pose a credible threat to cryptocurrency holders. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3cd669811cfae186c4d29b0f3b2aba40 TLS cert SHA-256: 564d6ff6e0476003443c4ed71b49c037d23dededeb45559e517688378904b0a6 ## 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/habibi.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=habibi.exchange 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.
