No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 18:23:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:21 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 18:24:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal-mktg.com: PayPal-Themed Phishing Site Confirmed via Analysis of paypal-mktg.com, registered on July 27, 2026, reveals infrastructure designed to mimic legitimate PayPal marketing domains, a common tactic in banking phishing campaigns. The domain is hosted under nameservers ns1-pchnet.paypal.com and ns2-pchnet.paypal.com, which replicate PayPal’s legitimate naming convention but are not officially associated with PayPal Inc. Additional nameservers include pdns100.ultradns.com, a provider frequently used for both legitimate and malicious domains, offering no definitive classification on its own. Registration was processed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by large corporations, including PayPal, which may contribute to initial trust signals but does not confirm legitimacy. As of the report date, the domain remains active and returns an HTTP 301 redirect, a behavior often used to forward victims to credential-harvesting pages or to evade detection by security crawlers. Only one security blocklist, PhishDestroy, currently flags the domain, while 91 vendors on VirusTotal have scanned the domain without raising detections. The absence of detections does not indicate safety, particularly given the domain’s recent registration and the use of nameserver spoofing. No additional context is available regarding the final destination of the redirect, the presence of phishing kits, or the specific content of the site. Defenders are advised to treat paypal-mktg.com as high-risk due to its nameserver deception, recent registration, and association with a known financial brand. Monitoring for changes in detection status, redirect targets, and SSL certificate issuance is recommended. Network-level blocking at the domain and nameserver level should be considered, particularly in environments where PayPal credentials are frequently targeted. Further analysis of the redirect chain and any associated IP infrastructure may provide additional indicators of compromise. ## 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-mktg.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-mktg.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.
