Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is bityardx.com a Fake Bityard Crypto Exchange Scam? This domain is flagged as a generic phishing site impersonating the legitimate Bityard cryptocurrency exchange. Analysis indicates it targets users attempting to access trading platforms, likely harvesting login credentials, API keys, or depositing funds into attacker-controlled wallets. The site uses a cloned interface and branding to appear authentic, a common tactic in crypto-related phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on October 28, 2025, through Name SRS AB, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing domains. It currently resolves to IP address 192.238.187.180 and holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides HTTPS encryption but offers no legitimacy. Despite its active status and presence in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting the threat is either new or evading detection through obfuscation techniques. Users who visited bityardx.com should immediately revoke any active sessions and change passwords for linked accounts, particularly crypto wallets or exchange logins. Check browser extensions for unauthorized modifications and scan devices for malware. If funds were transferred, report the incident to local cybercrime authorities and the legitimate Bityard platform. Monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions and consider freezing credit if personal data was entered. Bookmark verified exchange URLs and enable multi-factor authentication to prevent future compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a2d34cd9eab8e5b94e2af6ee8be4f9b5 TLS cert SHA-256: 85a7626988278e8517c475fa5cfe93d189a54fec9ff0c7cbafff990b7e3271dc ## 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 (operator 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/bityardx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bityardx.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
