## 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: 2026-04-07 17:06:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the domain bybitcm.com.cn as an active brand impersonation scam targeting Bybit users.    This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on March 26, 2026, and resolves to IP 154.216.106.253. It holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and currently remains unlisted on major blocklists, indicating low but evolving detection coverage.    The campaign is under active investigation with a status marked active and a unique seed identifier 64a620. Recommendations include blocking bybitcm.com.cn at the network perimeter, inspecting DNS resolutions to 154.216.106.253, and advising users to verify official URLs via Bybit’s authenticated domains (bybit.com, bybit.global) before entering credentials or making deposits. Exercise heightened caution with newly registered domains mimicking financial brands.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260407-F188B8
TLS cert SHA-256:      45c372190431090b4ed75b394a55f33e3fd714b6e7e7d8c2dfe8f1772002e621

## 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.
