Evidence Summary

CRITICAL

PhishDestroy first observed paypal-check.com on Aug 18, 2026. The hostname explicitly references PayPal; stored content metadata identifies the same apparent target. Current evidence score: 86/100 (critical).

One source contains a positive finding: VirusTotal. VirusTotal recorded 12 detections among 91 engines: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, CRDF, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, Webroot on Aug 18, 2026 at 19:30 UTC. Non-positive and contextual checks: The separate external-blocklist snapshot contained no matches on Aug 18, 2026 at 18:20 UTC. Google Safe Browsing returned no flag on Aug 18, 2026 at 20:03 UTC. URLScan captured the page on Aug 18, 2026 at 19:20 UTC.

The collector marked the hostname reachable on Aug 18, 2026 at 19:20 UTC, but did not retain the HTTP response code. Registration records for the domain list Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com as the registrar and Aug 11, 2026 as the creation date. Registration preceded first observation by 6 days. At collection time, the hostname resolved to 95.85.237.47. The evidence archive retains 2 visual captures from PhishDestroy and URLScan; no page title was retained, so the captures preserve the landing-page appearance. TLS metadata lists Let's Encrypt as the certificate issuer.

Stored content provides classification context, but only one source contains a positive finding. The target field identifies PayPal, but the record does not establish whether the page requested credentials, a seed phrase, or a wallet connection.
