No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 18:33:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:24 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 18:35:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal-business.co.uk — Banking Phishing The domain paypal-business.co.uk is currently active and has been classified as a high‑risk banking phishing site. Registration data shows the domain was registered through Markmonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate commerce sites, which may be intended to lend credibility to the malicious operation. DNS resolution points to four authoritative nameservers, including ns1-pchnet.paypal.com, ns2-pchnet.paypal.com, and pdns100.ultradns.com; the presence of PayPal‑related nameserver labels suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate PayPal infrastructure, although the full set of nameservers is not fully disclosed. An HTTP request to the domain returns a 301 permanent redirect, indicating that the site forwards visitors to another location, a typical behavior for phishing infrastructure that hides the final landing page behind a redirect chain. VirusTotal analysis reports that one out of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain, providing a minimal but concrete indication of malicious activity. The domain is presently listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one external mitigation platform has identified it as abusive. No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX mentions, SSL certificate details, or page title information is available at this time, leaving the exact content and hosting location unverified. Defenders should prioritize immediate blocking of the domain at network perimeter and endpoint controls, monitor DNS queries for the listed nameservers, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists across all security layers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further detection from additional vendors or blocklists could raise the confidence in the threat assessment. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6e107db3ac75cc896b0584c8c4e1361ef49d57e5ed8d898473067b8c4360aa50 ## 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-business.co.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-business.co.uk 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.
