## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 11:47:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, bybit456.vip, is a confirmed brand impersonation scam targeting the cryptocurrency exchange platform Bybit. The site is designed to deceive users into believing it is an official Bybit service, potentially leading to the theft of personal information, including login credentials and financial data.

Analysis indicates that bybit456.vip was registered through Dominet (HK) Limited on May 23, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 43.175.65.14. The domain uses an SSL certificate issued by TrustAsia Technologies, Inc., which may give users a false sense of security. Notably, the domain has been flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting that it is still under the radar of many security systems.

If a user has visited bybit456.vip, they should immediately change their Bybit account passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance security. Users are advised to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for any unauthorized activity. Additionally, reporting the visit to Bybit's official support team and to local cybersecurity authorities can help mitigate the risk and prevent further incidents.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260626-043AA8
Favicon MD5:       bec772043d8b50699be707a77c19324e
TLS cert SHA-256:      925af829abc5f8ddf549b5d842334047bcfee8e851c89e65ac1c383e64eabb56

## 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.
