This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 22:05:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 20:09:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:17:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb322-a041-7158-802a-82bffcb4d7f5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9fd60af7-4825-42d6-840a-8295eecb48d9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/paypal-prepagata.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.paypal-prepagata.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=paypal-prepagata.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/paypal-prepagata.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/paypal-prepagata.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:06:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain paypal-prepagata.com has been flagged for brand impersonation, posing a significant threat by mimicking PayPal to deceive users. This site was designed to mimic official PayPal branding, potentially tricking users into sharing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. This tactic is often used in phishing campaigns to exploit trust in well-known brands, here targeting PayPal specifically. The domain's page title, 'Carta di Debito Business con Cashback IT | PayPal IT', further supports its intent to deceive by closely replicating legitimate PayPal content. Technical analysis provides several indicators of malicious activity associated with paypal-prepagata.com. The domain was created on June 10, 2026, a detail that places it as a newly established site at the time of its discovery. It was registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., a registrar often used for legitimate brands, possibly to enhance its credibility. The domain resolves to IP address 151.101.3.1 and is currently listed on one security blocklist. VirusTotal has flagged it with a detection count of 1/95, and it is included in six threat intelligence pulses from AlienVault OTX. Despite its current offline status, these indicators confirm its prior use in deceptive activities. Users who suspect they have interacted with this domain should take immediate action to protect themselves. It is advised to change any passwords associated with PayPal accounts and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Additionally, users should report the encounter to PayPal's abuse team and seek guidance on securing their accounts. Remaining vigilant about unexpected communications and verifying the legitimacy of any PayPal-related requests can help prevent future phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-AA822D Favicon MD5: e8b4f8c412c50683e7a0730c7b382093 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 (volunteer 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-prepagata.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal-prepagata.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
