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: 2026-03-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-25 17:23:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-25 14:21:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:08:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-25 18:10:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d255c-d736-7655-b8a6-e50961654212/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5d311058-dd85-4a06-aa4c-7182f321d7e1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-25 17:28:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange presents a significant brand impersonation threat targeting Bitcoin users. By using the Bitcoin name and promoting no-KYC instant swaps to cryptocurrencies like XMR, USDT, and ETH, the site aims to mislead users into believing it is an official or trustworthy Bitcoin-related exchange. This type of impersonation can facilitate fraud, scams, or unauthorized transactions by exploiting the reputation of the Bitcoin brand. Technical analysis reveals that no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange was created recently on March 4, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear secure. Despite these efforts at legitimacy, VirusTotal scans show 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating it has not yet been flagged by antivirus or security tools. The domain is currently active and under investigation, with no blocklist counts reported at this time. Users who have visited no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange should exercise caution. Avoid providing any personal or financial information, as the site is impersonating a trusted brand and may be involved in fraudulent activities. It is advisable to verify the legitimacy of cryptocurrency exchanges through official channels and trusted reviews before engaging in transactions. If any suspicious activity or loss has occurred after visiting this domain, users should report it to their financial institutions and relevant cybersecurity authorities immediately to mitigate potential damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260325-B2E937 Favicon MD5: 0f5e81aa5b0f8c854c571df8f6e8427d TLS cert SHA-256: 0bc8f80ae2525f0d4ee5ad38b715d13c8f001d94eaf522cdc8cc0e0a5ea76f32 ## 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/no-kyc-bitcoin.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=no-kyc-bitcoin.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.
