Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, payment-esl-org.help, poses a high-risk phishing threat by impersonating ESL Federal Credit Union’s login portal. Visitors are presented with a fraudulent page titled 'ESL Federal Credit Union - Log in,' designed to harvest banking credentials, account details, and personal information. The site mimics legitimate financial institution interfaces to deceive users into entering sensitive data, which can lead to unauthorized account access, financial theft, or identity fraud. The threat is particularly dangerous for customers of ESL Federal Credit Union who may mistake the site for the official platform. Analysis indicates this domain is part of a deliberate phishing campaign. The domain was registered on July 7, 2026, through Porkbun LLC, a registrar often exploited for malicious infrastructure due to its accessibility and low-cost services. As of the latest scan, 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, confirming its phishing intent. The site resolves to the IP address 104.225.143.75 and uses an SSL certificate issued for payment-esl-org.help, which may create a false sense of security for unsuspecting users. The page title and domain structure further reinforce the deception by closely resembling the legitimate ESL Federal Credit Union’s branding. If you or someone else has visited payment-esl-org.help and entered login credentials or personal information, immediate action is required. First, disconnect the affected device from the internet to prevent further data transmission. Next, contact ESL Federal Credit Union directly using their official customer service channels to report the incident and request account monitoring or a freeze. Change passwords for all financial accounts, especially those associated with the credit union, using a secure device. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an extra layer of security. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized transactions or signs of identity theft. Finally, report the phishing site to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) to aid in broader takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3cc5785be1e5c9462f29dfdb389acf10 TLS cert SHA-256: f676768b6eb60258757f1bff2c9b7185f2faa2361e135bc8faa57d420dae8c5e ## 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/payment-esl-org.help/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=payment-esl-org.help 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.
