## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 20:37:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain paybis.biz has been identified as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the Bitcoin brand. This website was designed to deceive users by mimicking a legitimate platform for purchasing Bitcoin with credit or debit cards. The domain has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risks associated with its fraudulent operations.

Technical analysis of paybis.biz reveals it was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 104.20.7.169. The domain was created on August 17, 2017, and has been flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of detection by security systems. The site also appears on one security blocklist and has received a trust score of 0 out of 100 from Gridinsoft, indicating a high level of risk. The presence of technologies such as Amazon Web Services, Vue.js, and Stripe on the site further suggests attempts to emulate a legitimate service.

With the domain currently offline, the immediate threat has been neutralized. However, it serves as a critical reminder for users and organizations to remain vigilant against similar threats. Users should verify domain authenticity, especially for financial transactions, and consider employing comprehensive security solutions that actively monitor and block access to known phishing sites. Organizations are advised to report suspicious domains to relevant authorities and encourage users to engage in safe browsing practices.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9939e968667521a8f461828c6f7b9d1c
TLS cert SHA-256:      ae0949726a22d357801d52fa00f9bad94d3765b72b74e7c15f22fd8b85a184c4

## 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 (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.
