# PhishDestroy threat dossier — thebitcoincode.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-31 09:18:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/thebitcoincode.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.157.56.141 (US, Buffalo) ASN: AS55286 B2 Net Solutions Inc. Hosting org: ServerMania Inc Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.brainydns.com", "ns2.brainydns.com"] Page title: the bitcoin code HTTP response: 302 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 28ede5944ece3acf8eae08636603cfc6fd206dd0cc301117d63688b100f8412a ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 17:03:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 08:20:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 17:04:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] thebitcoincode.com: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain thebitcoincode.com is currently listed on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. The site returns an HTTP 302 redirect, a behavior commonly leveraged by phishing operators to forward victims to malicious payloads after initial page load. Nameserver records point to ns1.brainydns.com and ns2.brainydns.com, indicating that the infrastructure is hosted on a DNS service that has been used for other abusive domains. VirusTotal analysis shows that three of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of its malicious nature. Registration data reveals that the domain was purchased through Dynadot Inc, a registrar that does not inherently imply legitimacy but is frequently observed in malicious registrations. The threat classification supplied is “generic phishing” with a high risk rating, and the domain remains active as of the report date (July 28, 2026). Available evidence confirms that the domain is being used for phishing attempts, but details such as the targeted brand, page content, or hosting IP address have not been disclosed. Consequently, the precise phishing vector—whether credential harvesting, cryptocurrency wallet compromise, or other credential‑focused lure—cannot be definitively determined from the current data set. Defenders should ensure that any outbound connections to the domain are blocked at the network perimeter, update URL filtering policies to include the known blocklist entry, and monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers. Endpoint protection solutions should be configured to treat the three VirusTotal detections as malicious indicators, and security teams should consider adding the domain to internal blocklists and threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing surveillance is recommended to detect any changes in the domain’s hosting, redirect patterns, or additional vendor detections that could indicate an escalation of the campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 28ede5944ece3acf8eae08636603cfc6fd206dd0cc301117d63688b100f8412a ## 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/thebitcoincode.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=thebitcoincode.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.
