PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-12-21 (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) First reported: 2025-12-24 07:55:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-02 00:10:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:38:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b4f5a-6a34-7395-9c33-b369bad8a32c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitrewards.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitrewards.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitrewards.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitrewards.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitrewards.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:20:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bybitrewards.digital as a high-risk crypto drainer domain that impersonates the legitimate cryptocurrency platform Bybit. This site, titled 'Bybit Christmas Rewards,' was designed to lure users with the promise of exclusive crypto incentives but instead aims to steal digital assets. The domain was registered suspiciously recently, on December 21, 2025, and despite now being taken offline, it poses a significant threat to anyone who interacted with it during its active period. The phishing scheme behind bybitrewards.digital leveraged a Solana drainer kit, a specialized tool used to siphon cryptocurrency funds from victims' wallets. Once users visited the site and engaged with its fake rewards program, they were likely prompted to connect their wallets or provide private keys, enabling attackers to drain their Solana-based assets. The domain’s IP resolves to 172.67.211.159 and it was registered through Global Domain Group LLC, adding layers of obfuscation typical of fraudulent operations. Security engines flagged this domain on VirusTotal with 14 detections, and it appeared on at least one security blocklist, underscoring its malicious nature. If you have visited bybitrewards.digital or entered any wallet credentials, it is crucial to immediately revoke permissions granted to suspicious decentralized applications and transfer your funds to a new, secure wallet. Monitor your accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider using hardware wallets for enhanced security. Users should always verify domain authenticity before interacting with crypto-related offers, especially those promising high rewards or exclusive bonuses. Staying informed through resources like PhishDestroy can help prevent falling victim to such evolving crypto scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: d465172175d35d493fb1633e237700022bd849fa123164790b168b8318acb090 ## 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/bybitrewards.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitrewards.digital 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.
