# PhishDestroy threat dossier — inchpad-linkapprovals.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-07 05:04:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/inchpad-linkapprovals.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: PayPal ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 77.37.34.128 (GB, Manchester) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: HOSTINGER GB Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: aurora.dns-parking.com, nebula.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-05-05 Page title: Default page ## 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: 2026-05-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 02:39:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-06 23:40:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-07 08:00:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-07 02:56:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dffa7-955d-763f-9da2-23dd807c4226/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/929a29ee-de7d-46db-b14f-6ceb72bf5087 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/inchpad-linkapprovals.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.inchpad-linkapprovals.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=inchpad-linkapprovals.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/inchpad-linkapprovals.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/inchpad-linkapprovals.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 02:39:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies inchpad-linkapprovals.site as a PayPal account phishing domain currently under investigation for generic phishing activities. This site mimics legitimate PayPal link approval processes to steal credentials and financial data. No known drainer kit or branded spoofing beyond PayPal-themed lures has been confirmed at this stage, but the domain's behavior aligns with credential harvesting campaigns targeting PayPal users. Technical indicators reveal this domain resolves to IP 77.37.34.128 and was registered on May 05, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and currently shows 0 out of 95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating it remains undetected by most security vendors. Given its recent creation and low detection rate, this domain poses an elevated risk to unsuspecting users. The Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status and blocklist counts remain unverified at this time. The domain is classified as active with a 'under_investigation' risk status, meaning its full malicious capabilities are not yet confirmed. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and IP at the network level, while users are advised to avoid interacting with any links or content from inchpad-linkapprovals.site. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's recent activity, low detection rate, and potential to deceive users through phishing tactics. Users should report any encounters with this domain to their security teams or relevant phishing reporting platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260506-8ACC60 Favicon MD5: ff3a0706aa6dc4bfaca6f894fa5bdedf ## 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/inchpad-linkapprovals.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=inchpad-linkapprovals.site 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.
