# PhishDestroy threat dossier — payment-pinetworks.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-09 06:09:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/payment-pinetworks.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/95 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.153.81 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: CV. Jogjacamp Nameservers: 1 Registered: 2025-01-20 Expires: 2025-07-19 Page title: Wallet – Pi Blockchain, Community & Developer Platform | Pi Network ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-01-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-07-12 13:58:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-08 06:37:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-26 06:00:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0197ff92-9edc-707d-9c29-4a81b3bb27f7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/payment-pinetworks.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.payment-pinetworks.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=payment-pinetworks.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/payment-pinetworks.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/payment-pinetworks.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:17:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified payment-pinetworks.com as a potentially malicious domain associated with generic phishing activity. The domain mimics the branding of the Pi Network cryptocurrency platform by using related titles, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Technically, the domain was registered recently on January 20, 2025, via CV. Jogjacamp and resolves to the IP address 172.67.153.81. While it appears on one security blocklist, VirusTotal scans reveal zero detections from 95 security vendors, suggesting it may be a newly identified threat or employing subtle tactics that evade current detection technologies. As of now, payment-pinetworks.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends exercising caution around any communication referencing this domain, avoiding clicking unknown links or submitting credentials. Monitoring for updates from security entities and refraining from interaction with suspicious Pi Network-related sites is advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 89bb54e03aff26116dd642771d281a558e3bab02d9233ec66e9bac269b6780c5 ## 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/payment-pinetworks.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=payment-pinetworks.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.
