## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-17 18:01:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

bybitliquid.com was registered on July 15, 2026 through Dominet (HK) Limited and is currently hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, indicated by the authoritative nameservers heidi.ns.cloudflare.com and sage.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP address 104.21.90.132, which is associated with Cloudflare's edge network. The domain presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate, confirming that HTTPS connections are being terminated with a legitimate certificate chain. VirusTotal has recorded detections from six of ninety‑one scanning engines, suggesting that at least a subset of security products recognize malicious activity linked to the domain. The domain is classified as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Bybit, and the threat level is marked high with an active status. No public analysis of the website’s content or landing page has been provided, so the specific tactics, payloads, or credential‑harvesting mechanisms remain unknown. Defenders should consider adding the domain to blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the 104.21.90.132 address, and employing sink‑hole or network‑level controls to prevent client connections. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional detections may emerge and the site could evolve its malicious infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-FDEB19
TLS cert SHA-256:      b9ed7ec8e9b6b1529c6015003c4cf88243505d052c016f722f88a04d2911c3e3

## 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.
