# PhishDestroy threat dossier — paybis.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 19:35:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/paybis.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.20.7.169 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: chin.ns.cloudflare.com, marek.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2017-04-18 Expires: 2030-04-18 Page title: Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card or Debit Card Instantly | Paybis ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c08a7729df265e5d1ca5202472465c28b7c63ed5ef47a1ee498f016037a94153 ## 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: 2017-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 18:43:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:56:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:23:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed14f-91d0-73df-bf6a-2f288c47ce13/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4162c7ee-d610-45d9-a0a7-987a3682f51b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/paybis.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.paybis.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=paybis.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/paybis.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/paybis.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:38:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, paybis.net, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting users of Bitcoin-related services. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platforms, presenting itself as a trusted service for purchasing Bitcoin with credit or debit cards. The intent is likely to harvest sensitive financial information, credentials, or facilitate unauthorized transactions by exploiting the trust associated with the impersonated brand. The domain’s infrastructure and content are designed to closely resemble authentic platforms, increasing the risk of successful deception for unsuspecting users seeking to engage in cryptocurrency transactions. Evidence supporting the classification of paybis.net as a malicious domain includes multiple technical indicators. The domain is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating detection by a subset of the cybersecurity community. It was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on April 18, 2017, and resolves to the IP address 104.20.7.169. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is currently offline, though this status may change. Detected technologies include Apple iCloud Mail, Amazon Web Services, Vue.js, Stripe, and others, suggesting a well-constructed facade to support its fraudulent operations. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the domain’s intent. Users who have visited paybis.net or interacted with the domain should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If any credentials, financial details, or personal information were entered on the site, affected individuals should revoke access to linked accounts, monitor for unauthorized transactions, and update passwords for all associated services. Cryptocurrency wallet addresses or transaction details shared on the platform should be considered compromised, and users are advised to transfer funds to new, secure wallets if exposure is suspected. Additionally, scanning systems for malware or unauthorized access is recommended, as interactions with such domains may lead to secondary infections. Vigilance in reviewing account activity and enabling multi-factor authentication on all financial and cryptocurrency-related platforms is strongly advised to prevent further exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-67C562 Favicon MD5: 9939e968667521a8f461828c6f7b9d1c TLS cert SHA-256: c08a7729df265e5d1ca5202472465c28b7c63ed5ef47a1ee498f016037a94153 ## 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.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paybis.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
