bybit.ai.in Phishing: Elevated Risk Brand Impersonation

PhishDestroy identifies bybit.ai.in as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Bybit. This domain was registered through the National Internet Exchange of India and resolved to IP 188.114.97.3, with a creation date of April 17, 2026. Security analysis reveals that 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. AlienVault OTX detected it in one threat intelligence pulse, while its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt with fingerprint E7. The page title displayed "Just a moment..." and the domain is now offline.

To protect against this type of targeted brand impersonation, users should avoid visiting the domain and verify any communications claiming to be from Bybit by checking official channels. If credentials were entered on this site, change passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication on the affected account. Report the domain to security teams and monitor accounts for suspicious activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      cb82da4257574fd0c7cd997f737bd5a0b6b3f49825a31596dbc832447a6c5abf

## 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.
