Registration was performed through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, and the authoritative nameservers are ns5.afternic.com and ns6.afternic.com. The MX record list is empty, indicating no mail services. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by GoDaddy.com (GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1).

VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain by six of ninety‑one antivirus engines. Additional blocking is observed from PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. While the content of the landing page has not been publicly disclosed, the infrastructure characteristics strongly suggest a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Bybit users. Uncertainty remains regarding the specific payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms employed. Defenders should block or sinkhole the domain, monitor DNS queries for the listed IP and nameservers, and add the domain to internal blocklists. Continuous observation of related indicators, such as the GoDaddy certificate fingerprint and the AWS IP range, is recommended.
