## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:26:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bybitx.global as an active phishing domain impersonating the cryptocurrency trading platform Bybit. The threat is classified as low risk but aims to deceive users by leveraging brand trust.

The domain was registered on 2022-03-30 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. It has appeared on one security blocklist and is associated with the IPv6 address 2a02:26f0:3500:18::1724:a29d. VirusTotal flags it by 2 out of 95 security vendors, and AlienVault OTX detected the domain in three threat pulses.

Currently active, bybitx.global should be avoided to prevent potential phishing attacks. Users are advised to verify URLs carefully and rely on official platforms only. Continuous monitoring and blocking measures are recommended to mitigate risk.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       4d413b09b78bda35012c94572420d629
TLS cert SHA-256:      99ab0d45016abf69b1f5da8a850cbdcc7ead4ad4375030f25a3dbe5dfe5367f0

## 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.
