Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] mbitexchange.com: Confirmed Phishing Site Analysis indicates that the domain mbitexchange.com was registered on 13 December 2025 through BigRock Solutions Ltd. The authoritative name servers ns1.mbitexchange.com and ns2.mbitexchange.com resolve the zone to the single address 23.111.182.98. Current passive DNS shows the domain remains active, and the IP is presently listed on a single security blocklist. The phishing‑specific blocklist PhishDestroy has already marked the domain as malicious, confirming its use in credential‑harvesting campaigns. VirusTotal has recorded a single positive detection out of 91 scanning engines, providing additional confirmation that at least one security vendor has identified malicious behavior associated with the host. The limited publicly available intelligence does not include a page title, SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, or explicit references to a targeted brand. Consequently, the exact content and lure employed by the site cannot be described at this time. The lack of multiple detections suggests that the payload may be newly deployed or that the hosting configuration evades broader detection, but the presence of a confirmed blocklist entry and a positive VirusTotal scan justifies a high risk rating. Defenders should immediately add mbitexchange.com and the associated IP address 23.111.182.98 to outbound filtering and URL blocking policies. Monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its name servers is recommended to detect any downstream resolution attempts. Organizations using threat‑intel feeds should ensure the domain is ingested from PhishDestroy and from the observed blocklist. Continuous re‑scanning of the host on VirusTotal or similar services is advised to capture any escalation in detection counts. Given the active status and confirmed phishing classification, the domain should be treated as a high‑confidence indicator of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-BDE5A9 Favicon MD5: e8f48d28e7ce29d38e2815a4f2f0057d TLS cert SHA-256: 823a6b4832e3fa01fbcfff80bce9f90d97a9d48ac09f736ef1476dcb08dac4c8 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mbitexchange.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mbitexchange.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
