Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain www.govbtcclaim.org is currently active and is posing as a platform for claiming cryptocurrency. It received a low VirusTotal score of 3/95, indicating its high-risk nature. This site is specifically designed to attract users seeking to claim government-related cryptocurrency benefits, making it particularly dangerous for individuals seeking financial assistance in this area.

Registered with NameCheap, Inc., this domain is 233 days old and hosted on an IP address of 76.76.21.164. Such domains often exploit current events or public sentiment, increasing the likelihood of user interaction. Its relatively recent registration suggests a potential strategy to leverage trending topics in cryptocurrency claims while using shared hosting, which can complicate tracking and mitigation efforts.

Currently, www.govbtcclaim.org remains active, and PhishDestroy has taken steps to monitor this phishing site closely. We have reported this domain to relevant authorities and are actively blocklisting it to prevent further user exposure to its malicious activities.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
