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: 2026-05-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-20 13:47:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-20 13:47:09 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 12:20:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e44fe-826a-70b9-bc07-b24d1587eaac/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/purplebitcoin.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.purplebitcoin.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=purplebitcoin.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/purplebitcoin.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/purplebitcoin.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:54:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain purplebitcoin.pages.dev poses a high risk as it impersonates the well-known brand Bitcoin and is currently active. This domain was flagged as a potential threat due to its impersonation tactics, attempting to deceive users into interacting with it under false pretenses. PhishDestroy identifies this as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Bitcoin, with the page title claiming to be Purple Bitcoin ($PBTC) | Bitcoin Reimagined in Purple. This domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 172.66.45.17, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E7. It has been flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and appears on 1 security blocklist, indicating a potential risk to users. The domain was created on May 20, 2026, and considering its recent registration, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with it. The fact that it has already been flagged by some security vendors and appears on a blocklist suggests that it may be engaged in malicious activities. Given its current active status, users are advised to verify the legitimacy of purplebitcoin.pages.dev on PhishDestroy to ensure their safety and avoid potential financial losses due to crypto drainers or other malicious activities. It is crucial for users to be vigilant and not interact with this domain without proper verification, as brand impersonation threats like this can lead to significant financial harm if not identified and avoided promptly. By being cautious and taking the necessary steps to verify the domain's legitimacy, users can protect themselves from potential threats and maintain their online safety. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 33d132aa5082a968ffd88176d4cb5f8dd965523e28c11b8382c94c35b17478a9 ## 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/purplebitcoin.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=purplebitcoin.pages.dev 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.
