bitcoin-hyper.space was a phishing site that borrowed the Bitcoin name to look like a legitimate crypto opportunity and targeted people holding or buying cryptocurrency. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-05, four days after the domain was registered. The site went offline on 2026-09-11, and as of 2026-10-19 its DNS no longer resolves.
How the scam works
Bitcoin impersonation sites like this one use the brand's credibility to make an offer feel official. Common offers include a token launch, an upgrade, or an exclusive purchase. The visitor is then pushed either to send coins to an address the operators control or to connect a wallet and approve transactions. Either way, the loss is direct and usually irreversible: transferred crypto cannot be recalled, and a signed approval can let the attacker move tokens out of the wallet. The listing on MetaMask's blocklist points to the wallet-connection risk in particular.
Evidence
On 2026-09-06, three of 90 VirusTotal engines (Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Kaspersky and VIPRE) flagged the domain. That is a modest count, so most security products would not have stopped a visitor in the site's first days. The stronger signal comes from crypto-focused blocklists. PhishDestroy, MetaMask and SEAL all list it, and four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-01 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB and was already being detected within days. That short window fits a throwaway domain built for a brief campaign. It sat behind Cloudflare, Inc. (IP 172.67.144.31, geolocated to Canada), which hides the actual origin server. Its active life lasted roughly ten days between registration and going dark.
What to do
If you sent cryptocurrency through this site, record the transaction hashes and the receiving address, and report them to your exchange and local authorities. Do not pay anyone who offers to recover the funds for a fee. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, review and revoke token approvals with a trusted allowance checker. If you suspect the wallet itself is compromised, move the remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Never enter a seed phrase on any website. Defenders should keep the domain blocked and watch for lookalike Bitcoin-themed domains registered through similar quick-turnaround setups.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
