Nameservers: ns1.whoisdomain.kr, ns2.whoisdomain.kr, ns3.whoisdomain.kr, ns4.whoisdomain.kr Registered: 2026-05-07 Page title: The Future of Trading | BybitFX ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 09e7446c2e17eccdcb1efca033ff7426e17244743012d216edaab25503a4f36e Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.bybitfx.io ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:20:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 09:20:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 19:55:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0117-5cb1-727e-a364-8c78dc31edb4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitfx.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitfx.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitfx.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitfx.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitfx.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:52:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, bybitfx.io, is identified as a brand impersonation phishing site targeting Bybit, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate Bybit services. As of the latest analysis, the domain is offline, though it previously hosted content mimicking the official Bybit trading interface. Infrastructure analysis reveals that bybitfx.io resolved to the IP address 114.207.245.211 and was registered through Whois Corp on May 07, 2026. Detection metrics indicate that 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and its Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, further confirming its suspicious nature. Technologies detected on the site include PHP, Tailwind CSS, OpenSSL, Apache HTTP Server, and jQuery, which are commonly used in both legitimate and malicious web applications. The page title, 'The Future of Trading | BybitFX,' closely resembles branding associated with the targeted platform. Given the domain's current offline status, immediate risk to end users is reduced. However, organizations and individuals should remain vigilant, as infrastructure associated with such campaigns may be reactivated or repurposed. It is recommended to block the domain and its associated IP address (114.207.245.211) at the network level. Users who may have interacted with this domain should verify account integrity, monitor for unauthorized transactions, and reset credentials for any associated services. Security teams are advised to review logs for connections to the identified IP and domain to assess potential exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 09e7446c2e17eccdcb1efca033ff7426e17244743012d216edaab25503a4f36e ## 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 (operator 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/bybitfx.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitfx.io 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
