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 04:46:32 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: 2026-02-28 16:42:30 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/019c4acf-55fc-7067-94cf-7617eb997e39/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bdb794ab-2b7a-4419-8e5f-fc50f4dc3352 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitcopy-trade.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitcopy-trade.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitcopy-trade.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitcopy-trade.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitcopy-trade.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:30:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bybitcopy-trade.com as a medium-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency platform Bybit. This type of threat typically aims to deceive users by mimicking trusted brands to steal credentials or funds. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s registration through REGRU-RU and its resolution to IP address 178.20.45.187. VirusTotal flags it with 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The domain was created in February 2026 and has appeared on at least one security blocklist. The website’s page title, “CopyTradingPro | WEB3 via Bybit,” suggests an attempt to exploit interest in copy trading and Web3 technologies to attract victims. Currently, bybitcopy-trade.com is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts, verify URLs carefully, and avoid providing sensitive information on suspicious sites. PhishDestroy recommends consulting official Bybit channels for legitimate services and reporting any suspicious domains encountered. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-5F7869 Favicon SHA-256: 1e0578165a97c35b71c83b46564c20378b67a2b1482af88f60ccdca8f97fd8e5 ## 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/bybitcopy-trade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitcopy-trade.com 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.
