Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, paybis.cloud, operates as a confirmed brand impersonation platform targeting cryptocurrency users through fraudulent payment processing. The site mimics the legitimate Paybis service, presenting itself as a platform for purchasing Bitcoin with credit or debit cards under the title 'Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card or Debit Card Instantly | Paybis.' Analysis indicates the domain is designed to harvest sensitive financial information, including credit card details and cryptocurrency wallet credentials, under the pretense of facilitating instant Bitcoin transactions. The threat is classified as elevated due to its active status and direct targeting of financial assets, which can result in immediate monetary loss for victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered through GoDaddy on February 3, 2026, a future date that suggests domain spoofing or registry manipulation. It resolves to the IP address 172.66.129.16 and is protected by Cloudflare, a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns. Security vendor detection on VirusTotal stands at 2 out of 95, with one confirmed blocklist entry. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy while employing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce encrypted connections, further masking its fraudulent nature. Users who have visited paybis.cloud or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. All entered payment details, including credit card numbers and cryptocurrency wallet addresses, should be considered exposed. Affected individuals should revoke any transactions initiated through the site, monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant fraud prevention authorities. Additionally, clearing browser caches and resetting passwords for associated accounts is recommended to prevent further exploitation. The domain remains active as of this analysis, and continued vigilance is advised when encountering similar cryptocurrency-related offers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9939e968667521a8f461828c6f7b9d1c TLS cert SHA-256: e0bdbf1db5c922a46b240c6354153760838592625a8bf52deac3f598be53a19d ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/paybis.cloud/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paybis.cloud 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
