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: 2026-07-28 21:04:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 18:35:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal-business.com.au — Banking Phishing Report The domain paypal-business.com.au was registered through MarkMonitor Corporate Services Inc, a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises. It currently resolves to a set of UltraDNS name servers (pdns100.ultradns.com, pdns100.ultradns.net) and two additional servers identified as ns1-pchnet.paypal.com and ns2-p..., indicating possible misuse of PayPal‑related naming conventions. HTTP requests receive a 301 redirect response, but the destination URL has not been disclosed in the available intelligence. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one defensive organization has observed malicious activity associated with it. VirusTotal records show that the site was scanned by 91 anti‑malware engines; none raised a detection at the time of analysis, though the absence of alerts does not constitute assurance of safety. The threat classification supplied is "banking phishing", suggesting the site is being used to harvest credentials for PayPal or related financial services. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or hosting IP address have been released, leaving the underlying infrastructure largely opaque. The domain remains active as of the report date (July 27 2026). Defenders should add paypal-business.com.au to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the listed name servers, and consider sink‑hole routing for any resolved IP addresses. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is recommended to capture any future payloads or changes in behavior. Because the registrar is reputable, the malicious use is likely a compromise or abuse of a legitimate registration, reinforcing the need for rapid takedown requests to the registrar and coordination with blocklist operators. ## 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.com.au/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-business.com.au 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.
