Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain amlbybit.us as a brand impersonation threat currently under active investigation. This domain impersonates the legitimate cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, posing as a false trading platform designed to deceive users into connecting their digital wallets. This domain was flagged by 0 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of current analysis, indicating it remains undetected by most security engines. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Additional infrastructure details include a creation date currently under review and an unspecified blocklist count. Trust scores and registrar information are pending further validation. Due to the active status of this threat, users are strongly advised to avoid visiting amlbybit.us and to verify any suspicious links using PhishDestroy. Implementing network-level blocking for this domain and associated IP is recommended to mitigate potential exposure. Organizations should monitor for connections to 188.114.96.3 and update firewall rules accordingly. Exercise caution when encountering links claiming affiliation with Bybit, especially those promoting unrealistic trading offers or urgent wallet verification requests. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8fcc2e3ff807c9f2ef47be8783da8e5b3cd8ebb0d59ad75009679394af688da1 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/amlbybit.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amlbybit.us Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
