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: 2020-09-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 18:44:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:52:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:28:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed150-487c-7232-8090-a06a8761f09e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/paaybis.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.paaybis.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=paaybis.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/paaybis.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/paaybis.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:37:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, paaybis.com, is confirmed as a brand impersonation threat targeting Google, designed to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent cryptocurrency services. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as a legitimate platform for purchasing Bitcoin using credit or debit cards, a common tactic to exploit trust in established financial and tech brands. The page title, 'Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card or Debit Card Instantly | Paybis,' further reinforces this deception, though no direct affiliation with the genuine Paybis service exists. The infrastructure and content suggest a focus on financial fraud, potentially involving crypto drainers or unauthorized transactions, rather than traditional credential theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain was registered on September 18, 2020, through Danesco Trading Ltd., a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 136.243.255.72, which has been linked to other suspicious activities. VirusTotal reports 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. Despite the relatively low VirusTotal detection rate, the combination of brand impersonation, cryptocurrency-themed deception, and blocklist inclusion elevates the risk profile significantly. As of the latest assessment, paaybis.com has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or hosting provider intervention. However, the residual risk remains elevated due to the domain's history and the potential for reemergence under altered infrastructure. Users who interacted with the site should monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider revoking access to any connected wallets or payment methods. Organizations are advised to maintain blocklist entries for this domain and its associated IP address, while security teams should investigate related infrastructure for signs of compromise or lateral movement. Vigilance is critical, as threat actors frequently repurpose domains for new campaigns even after takedowns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-5BA115 Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 TLS cert SHA-256: 9b24f5bf1fdebc08179736556d4d84d4e9256dbaad68f8c8ce99504b36b4af4a ## 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/paaybis.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paaybis.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
