# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bybitrally.ru ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 04:42:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bybitrally.ru/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bybit ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.86.88.110 (US, Dallas) ASN: AS14956 RouterHosting LLC Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: TIMEWEB-RU Nameservers: ns1.timeweb.ru, ns1.timeweb.ru., ns2.timeweb.ru, ns2.timeweb.ru., ns3.timeweb.org, ns3.timeweb.org., ns4.timeweb.org, ns4.timeweb.org. Registered: 2026-05-07 Page title: Rally Scanner Bybit HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d45ac9ff4fa773d4e50e78691aa0c3aba852c59258d3f2d35e27776907beb155 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.bybitrally.ru ## 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 09:21:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-26 07:40:58 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/019e0117-5b27-700d-a034-f37f054dbc76/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitrally.ru crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitrally.ru Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitrally.ru AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitrally.ru URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitrally.ru/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:22:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bybitrally.ru as an active crypto drainer domain impersonating the Bybit cryptocurrency exchange. This domain is currently under investigation as a high-risk threat due to its malicious infrastructure designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized fund transfers. The campaign remains operational as of the most recent analysis, with threat actors leveraging brand impersonation to exploit trust in legitimate financial platforms. Immediate action is recommended to prevent financial losses. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors at the time of analysis, indicating a lack of widespread detection despite its malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 172.86.88.110 and is registered through TIMEWEB-RU, a hosting provider commonly associated with malicious activity originating from Russian IP space. The domain was created on January 24, 2026, and operates with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may be used to lend false credibility to the phishing site. The absence of detections, combined with the recent registration and hosting details, suggests a newly deployed or stealthily operated campaign designed to evade initial detection mechanisms. Current status indicates an active but evolving threat, with indicators still under investigation for broader threat intelligence integration. To mitigate risk, users should avoid accessing bybitrally.ru or any related domains and verify the legitimacy of Bybit-related domains through PhishDestroy's real-time threat intelligence database. Additionally, cryptocurrency holders are advised to verify the authenticity of wallet connection requests through official Bybit channels and revoke any unauthorized wallet permissions immediately. Network defenders should block the identified IP and domain while monitoring for related infrastructure to prevent further exploitation. Proactive user education on recognizing brand impersonation tactics and the importance of verifying URLs before interacting with financial platforms remains critical to reducing exposure to this and similar campaigns. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 TLS cert SHA-256: d45ac9ff4fa773d4e50e78691aa0c3aba852c59258d3f2d35e27776907beb155 ## 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/bybitrally.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitrally.ru 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.
