sofware-update-bc.cc is an impersonation phishing domain whose misspelled name, "sofware-update", is built to pass as a legitimate software or wallet update notice. Its listing on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists places it in the crypto ecosystem, where fake updates are a common lure for wallet users. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-14. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still alive and its content resolved through a redirect.
How the scam works
Fake-update phishing tells visitors their wallet or software is outdated and pushes them to "update" through the attacker's page. That step usually asks for a recovery phrase or private key, a wallet connection, or a download. Whichever one the victim completes gives the operator control of the wallet or the device. The page title currently reads "sofware-update-bc.cc is registered at Namecheap", a registrar holding message, while we classify the domain as impersonation phishing.
Evidence
On 2026-09-24, VirusTotal showed 7 of 89 engines flagging the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That count is modest, so some security tools will still let it through. The stronger signals come from elsewhere. Spamhaus lists it in its DBL as a phishing domain, MetaMask and SEAL block it alongside PhishDestroy, and it appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2025-11-20 through NAMECHEAP INC, almost ten months before PhishDestroy detected it. A gap that long fits a domain kept quiet or reused before it was turned against victims. It resolves to Namecheap, Inc. hosting in the US. The registrar holding title and the redirect suggest the visible content can change at any moment, so a harmless-looking page today does not make the domain safe tomorrow.
What to do
If you typed a recovery phrase or private key on this site, treat that wallet as compromised. Move any remaining funds to a new wallet created on a clean device. If you connected a wallet, revoke the approvals granted during that session. If you downloaded an "update", don't run it, and scan the machine. Only update wallets through their official app stores or built-in updaters. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and add it to wallet-protection and email filtering lists.

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.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
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.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
