btc-tumbler[.]to

The domain btc-tumbler.to was registered on May 24, 2024 through a registrar identified as the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga. It resolves to the IP address 45.12.2.86, which is allocated to AS6698 Virtual Systems LLC in Ukraine and is served by an Nginx web server that enforces HTTP Strict Transport Security. The site presented a page title of "Secure Multi-Currency Crypto Mixer | Enhance Blockchain Privacy," indicating a crypto‑mixing service that falsely claims affiliation with the Ethereum brand. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13), and the domain is protected by HSTS, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate.

Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is hosted on nameservers ns1.zomro.net and ns2.zomro.ru, both associated with the Zomro hosting provider. Reputation checks are uniformly negative: Gridinsoft assigned a score of 0 / 100, Scamadviser a score of 1 / 100, and the domain is listed on a security blocklist and flagged by PhishDestroy. AlienVault OTX reports the domain in a single threat‑intel pulse, and VirusTotal logged 16 detections out of 95 security vendors, reinforcing the malicious classification.

The site is currently offline, but the observed infrastructure—Ukrainian hosting, generic SSL, and brand‑impersonating page title—matches known patterns used in crypto‑mixing scams targeting Ethereum users. Defenders should continue to block the domain and its associated IP address, monitor any future re‑registration attempts, and educate users that legitimate Ethereum services never use such mixer terminology or unrelated hosting providers. Further analysis is required to confirm any additional payloads or redirects that may have been served before the takedown.
