Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies paybks.com as a brand impersonation threat with an elevated risk level. This domain was designed to mimic Google, likely to harvest sensitive information from unsuspecting visitors. The site's title, "Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card or Debit Card Instantly | Paybis," suggests it may also have been used for cryptocurrency fraud. Fortunately, the domain is now offline, but its history indicates a clear intent to deceive. Technical indicators paint a comprehensive picture of the threat. paybks.com was created on September 18, 2020, and was registered through Danesco Trading Ltd. The domain resolves to IP address 136.243.255.72 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (E8), which is often misused by malicious sites. On VirusTotal, 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. These data points collectively confirm the domain's malicious nature. To protect against brand impersonation scams like this, users should verify URLs carefully before entering credentials or making transactions. Always check for subtle typos or deviations from legitimate domains. Enable two-factor authentication on accounts like Google to add an extra layer of security. If you encounter a suspicious site, report it to the relevant brand and security authorities. PhishDestroy provides this analysis to help users stay vigilant and informed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-44984B Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 TLS cert SHA-256: 8f66f3691c5850efc82cf2d07b9c176303d1628eca7d6f5761bc66c0f569cee7 ## 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/paybks.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paybks.com 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.
