# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pay-com.blogspot.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 00:29:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pay-com.blogspot.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 71/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: PayPal ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a00:1450:4001:c0f::84 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS15169 GOOGLE - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS15169 Google LLC Registrar: Google Blogger Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: PAYPAL HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE2 Expires: 2026-09-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 12941312e3865214f7cfa10a8f38f92ed0f2e124631026c7002a48a659984076 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - blogspot.ae - blogspot.al - blogspot.am - blogspot.ba - blogspot.be - blogspot.bg - blogspot.ca - blogspot.ch - blogspot.cl - blogspot.co.at - blogspot.co.id - blogspot.co.il - blogspot.co.ke - blogspot.co.nz - blogspot.co.uk ... +55 more ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-01 02:31:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 03:03:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b16-93a6-7123-8cd6-38d76f6100ad/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pay-com.blogspot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pay-com.blogspot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pay-com.blogspot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pay-com.blogspot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pay-com.blogspot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 02:35:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pay-com.blogspot.com, is an active phishing site impersonating PayPal to deceive users into submitting sensitive credentials, including usernames, passwords, and financial details. The site mimics PayPal’s branding and page structure, presenting a login interface nearly identical to the legitimate service. Analysis indicates the domain leverages social engineering tactics to exploit user trust, particularly targeting individuals expecting PayPal-related communications such as payment confirmations or account alerts. The page title explicitly displays 'PAYPAL,' reinforcing the illusion of authenticity and increasing the likelihood of successful credential theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 192.178.183.132 and is hosted on a platform associated with dynamic content delivery, which is frequently abused for phishing campaigns. VirusTotal detection metrics show 11 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating moderate but growing awareness within the security community. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a legitimate provider, which may further mislead users into perceiving the site as secure. No creation date or registrar details were provided in the available intelligence, but the domain’s active status and lack of widespread blocklisting suggest it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through rapid infrastructure changes. Users who have visited pay-com.blogspot.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action to mitigate potential compromise. First, reset PayPal account passwords using a separate, trusted device and enable multi-factor authentication if not already active. Review recent account activity for unauthorized transactions or changes, and report any suspicious entries to the legitimate service provider. Additionally, scan the device used to access the domain for malware or unauthorized software, as phishing sites may deploy secondary payloads. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for signs of fraudulent activity, and consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze if sensitive information was disclosed. Finally, report the domain to relevant abuse contacts, including the hosting provider and anti-phishing organizations, to aid in takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 59a0c7b6e4848ccdabcea0636efda02b TLS cert SHA-256: 12941312e3865214f7cfa10a8f38f92ed0f2e124631026c7002a48a659984076 ## 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/pay-com.blogspot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pay-com.blogspot.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.
