# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nigerianbitcoin.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 06:14:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nigerianbitcoin.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.159.140.166 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns27.domaincontrol.com, ns28.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2026-04-28 Expires: 2029-04-28 Page title: Bitcoin Mining Nigeria – Secure ASIC Hosting & Investment ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4c87d2e653c7d84e6dcc081e52f3ecb0f0a92c5e1486f4c3ef6517db801d8145 ## 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: 2026-06-25 09:36:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 07:38:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:02:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efdb3-7c77-70fb-8ca6-6ed423a727bc/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/df2b0815-15e6-490c-a28a-d9984a202e23 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nigerianbitcoin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nigerianbitcoin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nigerianbitcoin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nigerianbitcoin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nigerianbitcoin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 09:38:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, nigerianbitcoin.com, is under investigation for facilitating cryptocurrency scams, specifically crypto drainer phishing attacks. Analysis indicates the site likely impersonates legitimate cryptocurrency platforms to harvest wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases, enabling unauthorized fund transfers. The domain targets users seeking Bitcoin-related services, exploiting trust in regional or niche crypto offerings to bypass initial suspicion. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 28, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, with nameservers ns27.domaincontrol.com and ns28.domaincontrol.com. It currently resolves to IP address 162.159.140.166. Despite its active status and operational infrastructure, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, yielding a 0/95 detection rate. No blocklist entries or historical abuse reports were identified during the initial assessment, though this may reflect the domain's recent creation and limited exposure. Users who visited nigerianbitcoin.com or interacted with its content should assume credential compromise. Immediate actions include revoking access to any linked cryptocurrency wallets, generating new private keys or seed phrases, and monitoring transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Browser data, including cookies and cached credentials, should be cleared to mitigate session hijacking risks. If financial losses occurred, affected parties should document all interactions with the domain, including timestamps, IP addresses, and transaction hashes, for potential reporting to law enforcement or blockchain analysis entities. Network-level blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (162.159.140.166) is recommended for enterprise environments to prevent further exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-74B6C6 Favicon MD5: 11fb4799192313dd5474a343d9cc0a17 TLS cert SHA-256: 4c87d2e653c7d84e6dcc081e52f3ecb0f0a92c5e1486f4c3ef6517db801d8145 ## 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/nigerianbitcoin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nigerianbitcoin.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.
