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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-07 17:12:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-07 14:12:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:28:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d6846-bc6f-762b-8011-955e5022f568/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5c3e744a-aeb6-4d2c-808f-8d5105a0111b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitcd.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitcd.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitcd.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitcd.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitcd.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-07 17:13:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bybitcd.com.cn is currently identified as an active brand impersonation threat targeting the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit. The specific threat involves masquerading as the legitimate Bybit platform to potentially deceive users into divulging sensitive information or engaging with fraudulent services. The status of this domain is under investigation as security analysts continue to assess its activity and potential risks. According to available data, bybitcd.com.cn was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on March 26, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 154.216.110.98 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear authentic. At the time of analysis, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, registering 0 detections. The page title found on the site reads "Bybit官网_Bybit交易所_Bybit下载_合约交易平台入口," which directly references Bybit's branding. Despite the absence of detections from antivirus vendors, the domain's impersonation tactics and registration details warrant caution. Currently, bybitcd.com.cn remains active and under scrutiny. Security experts recommend that users avoid interacting with this domain and verify the authenticity of any site claiming affiliation with Bybit on trusted platforms such as PhishDestroy. Continuous monitoring is advised, and the domain should be added to blocklists where appropriate to prevent user exposure. Users are urged to access Bybit services only through verified official channels and to report any suspicious domains to cybersecurity authorities to help mitigate emerging threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260407-5968EC TLS cert SHA-256: 5de530286600f0e7065e747406c6df124149a0d71735fb15fa1dc66de71309ad ## 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/bybitcd.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitcd.com.cn 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.
