# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pacidexunion.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 13:02:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pacidexunion.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Hunt.io Intelligence, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: Atak Domain Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, no, name, server Registered: 2025-03-07 Expires: 2027-03-07 Page title: Pacidexunion Bank ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8f17ba377c695588cc3707c93775e7e9cbcce42a31cc1081b015ce07188ab879 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.bn.pacidexunion.com ## 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: 2025-03-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:00:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:24:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b67-16fe-7015-b4d0-dc059eba5f83/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/76926459-974b-4224-90f2-54cf56a2ebe0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pacidexunion.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pacidexunion.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pacidexunion.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pacidexunion.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pacidexunion.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:05:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pacidexunion.com, presents a high-risk phishing threat by impersonating a legitimate banking portal under the name 'Pacidexunion Bank.' Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest user credentials through a fake login interface, likely targeting customers of financial institutions. The page title explicitly displays 'Pacidexunion Bank,' reinforcing the deception by mimicking authentic bank branding and web design elements to lower user suspicion during interaction. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain was registered on March 07, 2025, through Atak Domain, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing infrastructure. It resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. VirusTotal detections confirm the threat, with 13 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. No blocklist data currently indicates prior inclusion in major threat intelligence feeds, suggesting the campaign may still be in an early or evasive phase. Users who have visited pacidexunion.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action. Any submitted login details should be considered compromised and require urgent password resets across all platforms where identical or similar credentials were reused. Financial institutions should be notified to monitor for unauthorized transactions. Browser caches and saved passwords should be cleared to remove any stored references to the domain. Network-level blocking of 163.61.188.7 is recommended to prevent further access. Organizations should update internal threat intelligence with the domain, IP, and registrar details to enhance detection and response capabilities.

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/pacidexunion.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pacidexunion.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.
