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: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:58:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-01 15:13:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:06:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de409-a744-726c-8b85-ceb2cf284e9f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d3ec577b-5d5c-4fc4-893d-84c59ef303e1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/defvngiz.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.defvngiz.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=defvngiz.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/defvngiz.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/defvngiz.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:59:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies defvngiz.xyz as an active PayPal account phishing domain. The site was classified under the 'generic_phishing' threat vector with a current risk level marked as 'under_investigation' and a status of 'active'. This domain is actively mimicking PayPal's login interface to harvest user credentials and sensitive financial information. Security analysts and end-users are strongly advised to avoid interaction with this domain until further assessment is completed. This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal scanning vendors as of the latest analysis, indicating a low detection rate despite clear malicious intent. The domain defvngiz.xyz was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 104.21.29.67. The domain was created on April 25, 2026, and currently holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may be used to lend false legitimacy to the phishing page. Further investigation is required to determine if this domain has been added to any blocklists or threat intelligence feeds. As of the current assessment, defvngiz.xyz remains an active threat with minimal detection coverage, making it a potential risk to unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy recommends that users exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain or any associated URLs. Security teams should consider blocking the domain at the network level and monitoring for any related infrastructure. Additionally, users who may have already interacted with this site should immediately change their PayPal credentials, enable two-factor authentication, and review their account activity for unauthorized transactions. Continuous monitoring and reporting of this domain to threat intelligence platforms are strongly encouraged to enhance collective defense against credential harvesting attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-25A7A1 Favicon MD5: 9e5faf7b9446a4bc42c4e2c0f65c54e0 TLS cert SHA-256: f4b46324b03875e17d5234a0f18ffcfebc4ac2c161c4ece8783e173dc6d8b5c3 ## 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/defvngiz.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=defvngiz.xyz 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.
