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: 2026-03-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-09 05:23:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-09 05:23:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-29 21:08:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-11 01:00:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ccaf5-a319-753b-942e-fe1713aca5a2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 23:39:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com — Impersonation On 23 July 2026 the domain paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com was recorded as offline but continues to appear on at least one active security blocklist. Registration data shows the domain was created on 8 March 2026. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 82.25.102.143, which belongs to AS47583 Hostinger International Limited and is geolocated to Germany. The host presents an SSL certificate identified as R13, a standard commercial certificate that does not provide additional trust signals. VirusTotal scanning returned 23 detections out of 94 engines, aligning with the classification of an E‑Commerce scam that impersonates the PayPal brand. The domain is explicitly listed in the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that a reputable anti‑phishing feed has taken mitigation action. The threat rating is elevated, reflecting the potential for credential harvesting against PayPal users. Current evidence does not include a captured page title, content hash, or information about the phishing kit used, so the precise visual design and any embedded malware remain unknown. Observers should maintain watch‑list status on the IP 82.25.102.143 in case the host becomes active again, enforce URL filtering for the full domain, and propagate the domain hash to endpoint protection solutions. Organizations that integrate PayPal payments should remind users to verify the authenticity of login URLs, encourage reporting of unsolicited PayPal‑related communications, and consider additional authentication controls to mitigate credential‑theft risk. ## 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/paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-account-login.eliaswebstudio.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
