## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy’s intake system classified the domain as malicious after an admin report and an AI‑generated phishing confidence of 90 %. The recorded page title and excerpt advertise “PAX Gold Staking – Earn Yield on PAXG” and include a “Connect Wallet” button, which the assessment identified as typical of crypto‑phishing. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-22.

How the scam works
In crypto‑phishing attacks the site pretends to be a legitimate brand—in this case PAX Gold—to lure victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallet. Once a wallet is linked, the attacker can request token approvals or initiate transfers to drain funds.

Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-22 (analysis date 2026-10-17) and reported 0 malicious detections out of 92 engines. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026-10-22 and did not flag the site. OTX listed three pulses for the domain as of 2026-10-22, without a malicious label. The external blocklist ScamSniffer includes the domain (checked 2026-10-22) and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist marks it as malicious (checked 2026-10-22). URLScan captured the site on 2026-10-22 and returned a malicious phishing verdict with a score of 100, tagging the brand Paxos.

Infrastructure
The domain was registered with GMO Internet Group (Onamae.com) on 2026-10-13, giving it a registration age of seven days at the time of capture. Hosting is provided through Cloudflare, with recorded IP addresses 172.67.203.247 and 104.21.37.50. The TLS certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, is valid from 2026-10-13 to 2027-01-11 and DNSSEC is not enabled.

What to do
Do not click the “Connect Wallet” button or enter any credentials on this site. Users who have already connected a wallet should consider moving assets to a new secure wallet. Defenders should block paxgoldstaking.com at the network perimeter, monitor outbound connections to the recorded IPs, and add the domain to internal threat feeds.
