learn[.]c-by-bit[.]com

The domain learn.c-by-bit.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Bybit. This domain, which mimicked Bybit through its page title 'Learn All About Cryptocurrency | Bybit Learn', is currently offline. It represents an elevated risk due to its attempt to deceive users by impersonating a legitimate cryptocurrency trading platform.

The domain was registered through Amazon Registrar, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 157.185.160.145, located in the US under AS54994 Meteverse Limited. Created on January 25, 2025, it used an SSL certificate from TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. Specifically, TrustAsia DV TLS RSA CA 2025 was employed, potentially to add falsified legitimacy to the site. This domain has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and PhishingDB. This illustrates a recognition by multiple security entities of its threat potential.

Given its current offline status, immediate threat activity is lessened; however, the domain's past impersonation activities necessitate vigilance. Security measures should include monitoring for any future reactivation or similar domains. Users are advised to remain cautious of domains with similar naming conventions and to verify the legitimacy of websites before inputting sensitive information. Employing robust security solutions that check domains against up-to-date blocklists is recommended to mitigate risks associated with phishing infrastructure.
