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: 2026-02-11 06:47:48 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:21:08 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:14:37 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 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/019c4ace-a8de-76b6-830e-925e904b455e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitcard.ru crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitcard.ru Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitcard.ru AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitcard.ru URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitcard.ru/ ## 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 bybitcard.ru as a brand impersonation domain targeting users of the cryptocurrency platform Bybit. Although the threat level is assessed as low, the domain aimed to deceive users by mimicking Bybit's branding. The page content was found to be blank, suggesting limited functionality or a placeholder status. The domain bybitcard.ru was registered on February 21, 2026, through REGRU-RU and resolved to the IP address 176.57.66.117. Despite its low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft and appearance on one security blocklist, only 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged it. This indicates minimal but notable suspicion within the security community. Currently, bybitcard.ru is offline and no longer accessible. Users are advised to remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts and avoid visiting suspicious domains claiming affiliation with Bybit. Regularly verifying official URLs and enabling multi-factor authentication on cryptocurrency accounts can further enhance security. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 710f22b1bdccdee31df735284c8c0592 TLS cert SHA-256: a86050d689ba7da2ad516f86a1d5b4d58e82a499b09ae2b848700d65c5aa9171 ## 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/bybitcard.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitcard.ru 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.
