Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is paypal-passport.com Linked to Banking Phishing Threats? On July 27, 2026, paypal-passport.com was identified as an active domain under investigation for its association with banking phishing campaigns. The domain remains operational and is currently listed on one security blocklist, specifically flagged by PhishDestroy. While a scan by 91 vendors on VirusTotal did not result in any current detections, this lack of identification does not ensure the domain’s safety and should not be interpreted as confirmation of legitimacy. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for both legitimate and fraudulent purposes, which does not itself signal risk or safety. The HTTP status for the domain is 301, indicating that requests are being redirected, though the target of these redirects and the actual content served have not been analyzed at this time. The nameservers used by paypal-passport.com include both those referencing a well-known payment brand and generic ultradns entries, which could be an attempt to mimic legitimate infrastructure or could reflect standard configuration; further technical investigation is required. There is no information available regarding the hosting IP address, SSL certificate details, or any relevant OTX, Safe Browsing, ASN, or country data at this time. The specific page content, trust scores, and exact phishing mechanisms remain unexamined. Security defenders are advised to treat paypal-passport.com with caution due to its appearance on a reputable blocklist and its active status as of the reporting date. Continued monitoring and further forensic review are recommended to determine the scope and nature of the threat associated with this domain. ## 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-passport.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-passport.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.
