# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ht-bybit.com.cn ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 08:17:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ht-bybit.com.cn/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Bybit ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Netcraft, OpenPhish, SOCRadar, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 186.241.234.104 (US, Fort Lauderdale) ASN: AS132839 POWER LINE DATACENTER Hosting org: Globenet Cabos Submarinos America Inc Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: 【Bybit下载】Bybit PC桌面客户端 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. / LiteSSL RSA CA 2025 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ba7b9a4b769559cb62abfddc1d0270013a373bb92a5f3dbdc0212d0046457d82 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.ht-bybit.com.cn ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 18:00:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:29:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-19 18:42:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 14:20:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain ht-bybit.com.cn has been assessed as an elevated risk for brand impersonation, specifically targeting the cryptocurrency exchange platform Bybit. This type of threat can lead to significant financial and reputational losses for both the platform and its users, as attackers may attempt to trick users into providing sensitive information or performing actions that compromise their accounts. Analysis indicates that the domain ht-bybit.com.cn has been flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of detection among security tools. The domain is registered with TrustAsia Technologies, Inc., and its SSL certificate is issued by LiteSSL RSA CA 2025. The domain resolves to the IP address 186.241.234.104, which is located in the United States and is associated with Globenet Cabos Submarinos America Inc. The domain was created on May 18, 2026, and it appears on one known security blocklist, indicating that it has been marked as a threat by security organizations. The page title, which translates to something akin to 'Bybit PC Trading Interface', further confirms the intent to impersonate Bybit's official platform. To mitigate the risks associated with brand impersonation, users should verify the URL of the website they are visiting by checking for the correct domain and SSL certificate. If in doubt, users should directly access Bybit's official website through a bookmark or a trusted link. Security teams should monitor and block the IP address 186.241.234.104 to prevent access to this and any related malicious infrastructure. Additionally, users should be educated on recognizing phishing attempts and encouraged to report any suspicious activity immediately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ba7b9a4b769559cb62abfddc1d0270013a373bb92a5f3dbdc0212d0046457d82 ## 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/ht-bybit.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ht-bybit.com.cn 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.
