# PhishDestroy threat dossier — com-payslq.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 03:07:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/com-payslq.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.194.160 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Registered: 2025-09-26 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-09-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 02:21:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 22:39:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 04:20:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:16:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01998f63-d070-702b-ba39-0c1186abf212/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/com-payslq.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.com-payslq.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=com-payslq.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/com-payslq.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/com-payslq.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 09:57:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies com-payslq.vip as a credential theft phishing domain designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive login portals. This site does not appear to impersonate a specific major brand but instead relies on generic payment or account verification lures to trick victims into submitting sensitive information. No direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit has been observed, though credential theft can enable subsequent financial fraud or unauthorized access to cryptocurrency wallets. Technical indicators confirm the domain’s malicious nature. VirusTotal reports 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging com-payslq.vip as malicious, with detection labels including phishing and fraud. The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.194.160, which is hosted on Cloudflare’s network—a common tactic to obscure the true origin of phishing infrastructure. While the domain’s creation date is not provided in the available data, its presence on multiple blocklists and absence from Google Safe Browsing (GSB) further corroborates its malicious classification. No legitimate content or services are associated with this domain. As of the latest assessment, com-payslq.vip has been taken offline, likely in response to security vendor reports or hosting provider intervention. However, the elevated risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site before its removal, particularly if credentials were entered or personal data was submitted. Affected individuals should immediately change passwords for any accounts accessed via the site, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Users are advised to verify the authenticity of any website requesting sensitive information, especially those with unusual domain names or unsolicited login prompts. While the domain is currently inactive, threat actors may re-deploy similar infrastructure under new domains, necessitating ongoing vigilance. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2025-09-26 - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## 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/com-payslq.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=com-payslq.vip 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.
