Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Flashbyt.com poses a significant threat to cryptocurrency users by masquerading as a legitimate service under the guise of 'Flash Crypto, Spark Fun'. The domain, registered with Name.com, Inc., is hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc. and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. Despite being flagged by only 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, it has been identified as malicious by PhishDestroy and is included in our blocklist. The domain's page title suggests innovative crypto solutions for instant transactions, which is a common lure used in phishing schemes targeting cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The platform risk score of 71 out of 100 further underscores the potential danger it represents. This score indicates a high likelihood that the domain is involved in fraudulent activities, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring funds under false pretenses. PhishDestroy first detected flashbyt.com on June 21, 2026, highlighting its recent emergence in the threat landscape. The domain's single detection on VirusTotal reflects its freshness, as phishing domains often exploit the delay in antivirus database updates. PhishDestroy's proactive monitoring captures such threats in their early stages, providing critical protection during this vulnerable period. Users engaging with this domain risk falling victim to sophisticated scams, underscoring the importance of staying informed and cautious when dealing with online crypto platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-8FE690 TLS cert SHA-256: cb46770958f2c73be0e5564febe53268ef4ff866c3e53edb808e5d62428eafee ## 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/flashbyt.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flashbyt.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.
