# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pay.zfxupi.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 14:04:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pay.zfxupi.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: Amazon Registrar, Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1505.awsdns-60.org", "ns-1694.awsdns-19.co.uk", "ns-337.awsdns-42.com", "ns-915.awsdns-50.net"] Registered: 2026-06-01 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-02 01:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 03:46:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 12:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-02 06:26:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:41:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is pay.zfxupi.net a Fake Payment Portal Scam? This domain, pay.zfxupi.net, operates as a fraudulent payment portal designed to harvest sensitive financial credentials and personal data from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate payment processors or checkout pages, tricking victims into entering login details, credit card numbers, or other authentication tokens. The primary threat vector involves social engineering tactics, such as fake invoices, order confirmations, or urgent payment requests, which redirect users to this domain under false pretenses. Once credentials are submitted, they are transmitted to threat actors for immediate exploitation, including unauthorized transactions, identity theft, or further targeted attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming its malicious nature. The domain was registered on June 01, 2026, through Amazon Registrar, Inc., and is currently flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal as malicious. Additionally, pay.zfxupi.net appears on at least one security blocklist, further corroborating its classification as a phishing threat. The domain’s status is currently offline, which may indicate takedown efforts or temporary suspension by the registrar, but historical activity suggests it could resurface under a different name or infrastructure. Users who visited pay.zfxupi.net or entered credentials on the site should assume their data has been compromised. Immediate actions include revoking any exposed passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication on all financial and email accounts, and monitoring for unauthorized transactions. Financial institutions should be notified if payment details were submitted, and credit reports should be reviewed for signs of fraud. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any malware or backdoors that may have been installed during the interaction. Given the elevated risk level, organizations should also consider blocking this domain and its associated IPs at the network level to prevent future access attempts. ## 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.zfxupi.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pay.zfxupi.net 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.
