# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pay-travla.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-07 01:00:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pay-travla.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.199.141 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: betty.ns.cloudflare.com, plato.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-05 Expires: 2027-07-05 Page title: Travala Booking ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0176537cc62e65dcbca470d9f99ae6b75dd58d2a2ca64abf7df42ff73c6e814f ## 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: 2026-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 14:20:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-07 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f375e-fe91-71c9-9413-074c70d87929/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pay-travla.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pay-travla.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pay-travla.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pay-travla.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pay-travla.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 14:26:00 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-travla.icu, is flagged as a generic phishing site targeting users of the Travala travel booking platform, a service known for cryptocurrency payment integration. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest credentials, payment details, or cryptocurrency wallet information under the guise of legitimate booking services. No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage, but the infrastructure aligns with common phishing deployment patterns observed in travel and crypto-related scams. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on July 05, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to IP address 172.67.199.141, a Cloudflare proxy endpoint that obscures the true origin server. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain as malicious at the time of assessment. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unlisted, and no blocklist entries have been recorded across major threat intelligence platforms. Current status remains active, with the site still serving content under the title 'Travala Booking.' Immediate response actions include monitoring for changes in detection status, analyzing the backend infrastructure for further indicators of compromise, and assessing the domain's hosting environment for additional malicious artifacts. Despite the lack of detections, the domain poses a high residual risk due to its active impersonation of a legitimate service and the potential for credential or financial data theft. Users are advised to avoid interaction with the domain, verify URLs through official channels, and report suspicious activity to relevant fraud prevention entities. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 0176537cc62e65dcbca470d9f99ae6b75dd58d2a2ca64abf7df42ff73c6e814f ## 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-travla.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pay-travla.icu 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.
