Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Registered: 2025-09-27 ## 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: 2025-09-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 02:21:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 22:39:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 16:20:36 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/01999046-1f16-71e8-b915-6497d2ffd429/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/com-payvgj.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.com-payvgj.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=com-payvgj.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/com-payvgj.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/com-payvgj.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 09:57:20 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-payvgj.vip as a sophisticated phishing domain designed to mimic legitimate payment portals, such as those used by banks or online merchants. This fraudulent site targets users by presenting a seemingly authentic login or checkout interface, tricking victims into entering sensitive financial information, including credit card numbers, CVV codes, and online banking credentials. The domain employs social engineering tactics, such as urgent payment requests or fake transaction alerts, to pressure users into disclosing their data. Once submitted, this information is harvested by cybercriminals and used for unauthorized transactions, identity theft, or sold on dark web marketplaces. The threat is particularly dangerous due to its realistic design and targeted approach, which increases the likelihood of successful deception. Evidence supporting the malicious nature of com-payvgj.vip is substantial and multi-sourced. According to VirusTotal, 15 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a broad consensus among cybersecurity experts about its phishing intent. The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk or newly created domains used for short-lived phishing campaigns. Google Safe Browsing has also classified the site as phishing, further corroborating its fraudulent purpose. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.183.47, which has been linked to other suspicious activities in recent threat intelligence reports. Additionally, the domain has since been taken offline, a common tactic used by attackers to evade detection and takedown efforts after a campaign has run its course. Users who visited com-payvgj.vip or entered any information on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, cease all interactions with the domain and avoid clicking any links or downloading files from it. If financial credentials were entered, contact the relevant bank or payment provider to report the incident, request a card replacement, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Enable two-factor authentication on all financial and sensitive accounts to add an extra layer of security. Run a full scan of the device using reputable antivirus or anti-malware software, such as Malwarebytes or Windows Defender, to detect and remove any potential infections. Users should also consider changing passwords for other accounts, especially if the same credentials were reused elsewhere. Finally, report the domain to platforms like the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) or local cybercrime authorities to aid in broader takedown efforts and protect other potential victims. ## 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-payvgj.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=com-payvgj.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.
