This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-12-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-13 15:00:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 00:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:25:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b1839-cd23-734c-8b59-16c047c213f0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/audit-defi.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.audit-defi.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=audit-defi.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/audit-defi.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/audit-defi.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 18:22:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, audit-defi.com, is a dangerous phishing site designed to impersonate the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Bybit. By mimicking the Bybit brand and displaying a page titled 'Bybit Audit,' it attempts to trick visitors into believing they are on an official Bybit audit page, likely to steal login credentials or other sensitive information. The site poses a significant threat to anyone who might be misled by its deceptive appearance, especially those involved in cryptocurrency trading or audits. PhishDestroy's analysis reveals several red flags that confirm this domain is malicious. The domain was created on December 8, 2025, which is very recent, and it is registered through Dynadot LLC. It resolves to IP address 172.86.94.205 and has no SSL certificate, meaning any data sent to the site is not encrypted. VirusTotal shows that 23 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on 2 security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has identified it in 16 threat intelligence pulses, indicating widespread recognition of its harmful nature. These technical indicators leave no doubt that audit-defi.com is a phishing domain. If you have visited audit-defi.com, you should take immediate action to protect yourself. Do not enter any personal information, such as usernames, passwords, or financial details. Change your Bybit password and any other accounts where you use the same credentials. Run a full security scan on your device using reputable antivirus software to check for malware. Monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity and consider enabling two-factor authentication if you haven't already. Staying vigilant and reporting such domains helps keep the online community safe. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 08c694f640edd49c3e1bb391c5e52b064cfbe590a6aef5e0c1f72a228be4dab1 ## 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/audit-defi.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=audit-defi.com 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.
