No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-03 09:42:01 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:18:54 UTC (STALE — 23 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:14:17 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 23 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 23 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c22c3-32be-73ac-9f44-583b99720824/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/330f5cde-7092-46c2-bc46-f9594881f5ed Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybit.market crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybit.market Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybit.market AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybit.market URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybit.market/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:54:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bybit.market as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating the cryptocurrency trading platform Bybit. Although currently offline, this site posed a threat by mimicking Bybit’s branding to deceive users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials. The domain was registered through GoDaddy and appeared on a security blocklist, signaling potential malicious intent. This phishing campaign relied on brand impersonation to lure victims. The site displayed familiar Bybit-related terms like account creation, login, and fees to appear legitimate. Users who visited bybit.market risked exposure to credential theft or account compromise if they entered personal details. The domain resolved to an IP address flagged by some security vendors, further underscoring its suspicious nature. If you have visited bybit.market, it is advised to immediately change any passwords associated with your Bybit account and enable two-factor authentication for additional security. Users should remain vigilant and verify URLs carefully before entering credentials on any website, especially those claiming to be financial or trading platforms. Reporting suspicious domains to security services helps protect others from similar phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260203-0865B8 Favicon MD5: 2b5080cc848f2ba98f8b3870d058caf6 TLS cert SHA-256: 63aec4c81fc83c98bfb5bdc6143b1e762c63190b0d5204b7dabc501bcb359c7c ## 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/bybit.market/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybit.market 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.
