No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 15:13:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:51:48 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 15:21:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] id.venmo.com — Banking Phishing Investigation Analysis of the domain id.venmo.com shows it is currently active and has been associated with a banking‑phishing campaign. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one defensive provider has identified malicious use. An HTTP request to the domain returns a 302 redirect, a response often employed by phishing infrastructure to forward victims to a credential‑harvesting page or to obscure the final destination. The authoritative name servers listed for the domain are ns-1457.awsdns-54.org, ns-1599.awsdns-07.co.uk, ns-304.awsdns-38.com, and an additional server not fully captured in the source data, all of which are part of Amazon’s DNS service, suggesting the hosting environment is on AWS infrastructure. Registration information reveals the domain was purchased through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, which can lend a veneer of credibility to the malicious site. VirusTotal has processed the domain with 91 scanning engines, none of which generated a detection at the time of analysis; however, the absence of flags does not constitute evidence of safety, as many phishing sites evade automated signatures. No public page title, SSL certificate details, IP address, or geographic attribution have been disclosed, leaving those attributes uncertain. Defenders should treat id.venmo.com as malicious, add it to network‑level blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the listed name servers, and consider employing URL‑filtering rules that intercept HTTP 302 responses from this domain. Continuous re‑assessment is advised, as the infrastructure could be altered or expanded, and additional detections may emerge from broader threat‑intel feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7f40b0f59d88f92ecd351a5781b0c087ce614b938bc684ea4a29c13394fb8166 ## 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 (operator 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/id.venmo.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=id.venmo.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
