No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 18:23:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:21 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 18:24:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is paypal-donations.co.uk a Banking Phishing Site? Analysis as of July 27, 2026 indicates that the domain paypal-donations.co.uk is presently active and linked to a banking phishing campaign. The domain resolves to a set of nameservers that include ns1-pchnet.paypal.com., ns2-pchnet.paypal.com., and pdns100.ultradns.com., suggesting an attempt to masquerade as legitimate PayPal infrastructure. Registration data shows the domain was obtained through Markmonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, which may be intended to lend credibility. HTTP probing returns a 301 redirect response, a behavior often employed to forward victims to a malicious landing page while obscuring the original URL. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing platform has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records reveal that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of those engines raised a detection at the time of scanning, but the absence of a flag does not constitute evidence of safety. No public information on the hosting IP, ASN, or SSL certificate has been disclosed, leaving the underlying server location and encryption posture unknown. Likewise, there is no available page title or content snapshot, so the exact phishing lure and credential‑capture mechanisms cannot be described. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: block it at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any outbound connections to the associated nameservers, and incorporate the domain into threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing observation is recommended because the infrastructure may evolve, and additional indicators such as IP addresses or payload samples could emerge as the campaign progresses. ## 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-donations.co.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-donations.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.
