These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain platform-bitbuycdn.wixstudio.com is a confirmed clone of bitbuy.ca, the legitimate Canadian crypto exchange. Our scam-network fingerprint detected both clone and typosquat patterns, and independent phishing databases have flagged this URL and multiple related Wix subdomains as active credential-harvesting attacks. Forcepoint ThreatSeeker classified it as phishing. The evidence package documents a coordinated campaign across numerous similar Wix subdomains (io-bitbuycdn-ca, help-bitbuy, apps-bitbuycdn-ca, etc.), all mimicking Bitbuy branding and login flows. The page currently shows a 404 error, but this is consistent with phishing infrastructure that cycles pages on and offline to evade detection. The hosting IP has 19 abuse reports and a score of 15/100, typical of phishing-farm infrastructure.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The current screenshot displays a Wix Studio 404 error page. However, evidence from phishing databases and URLQuery reports confirms this subdomain was previously used to host a fake Bitbuy login portal with branding like 'BitBuy® - Secure Access™' and crypto trading descriptions. The page is designed to mimic the legitimate Bitbuy login flow and harvest user credentials.

Infrastructure

Hosted on Wix Studio (wixstudio.com), a free website-builder platform. The hosting IP 34.144.206.118 carries 19 abuse reports and a reputation score of 15/100. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt) but this is standard for phishing sites. The domain is 3463 days old (registered via GoDaddy), but age alone does not indicate legitimacy when the domain is used for phishing.

Domain History

Our scam-network fingerprint confirms this is both a clone of and typosquat of bitbuy.ca. Multiple related Wix subdomains follow the same pattern (io-bitbuycdn-ca.wixstudio.com, bitbuycdn-apps.wixstudio.com, en-bitbeycdn.wixstudio.com), all impersonating Bitbuy. These domains appear in spam forums, guestbooks, and comment sections, indicating active distribution of phishing links.

Web Reputation

Forcepoint ThreatSeeker flagged the domain as phishing. Phishing databases (URLQuery, PhishStats) list this URL and related Wix subdomains as confirmed credential-harvesting attacks targeting Bitbuy users. No legitimate business registration exists for this Wix subdomain. The real Bitbuy operates only at bitbuy.ca and app.bitbuy.ca.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with platform-bitbuycdn.wixstudio.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
