No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-07 17:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 23:03:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d6844-eccd-712a-b1c3-063fb1a19b2a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bybitterflame.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bybitterflame.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bybitterflame.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bybitterflame.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bybitterflame.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-07 17:11:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bybitterflame.com as an active brand-impersonation website posing as the legitimate Bybit cryptocurrency exchange to harvest login credentials. Visitors risk account takeover and financial loss if they enter any information on the fraudulent pages. The domain was registered on March 05, 2026 and currently resolves to 104.21.74.253 under a Cloudflare-hosted Cloudflare, Inc. plan using a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. Although VirusTotal scans currently show 0/95 engines detecting the threat, the site remains under active investigation due to clear indicators of Bybit imitation and other red flags. This domain emerged only days ago, making it a fresh impersonation campaign rather than an established scam infrastructure. PhishDestroy flags the site because it copies Bybit branding, colors, and page layouts to trick users into believing they are on the real exchange. The registrar is Cloudflare, Inc., which is not inherently suspicious but combined with the site’s recent creation date and low detection rate, creates a heightened risk profile. Security researchers should treat the domain as a high-priority phishing sample and block it at the network level to prevent further visits. If you visited bybitterflame.com, immediately change any passwords you may have entered on the site, enable two-factor authentication on your real Bybit account, and scan your device for malware. Do not click any links or download any files from the page. Report the domain to your organization’s security team and share the full PhishDestroy report with others to raise awareness. Stay vigilant for typos in URLs and always verify sites via official channels before entering sensitive data. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c0df64640eb02e5e2ef1554fd0e11877 TLS cert SHA-256: 5e826dbc5287b6a2c849d1b417a7c21b0263f9386501e8f468ba0c988b1500b2 ## 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/bybitterflame.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bybitterflame.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.
