Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies paypal.cardpaysecurity.org as an active brand impersonation site targeting PayPal users. This domain poses a high-risk threat by mimicking PayPal’s login interface to harvest credentials and potentially initiate unauthorized transactions, including crypto drainers. The site exhibits multiple red flags consistent with phishing infrastructure designed to deceive users into surrendering sensitive account information. This domain was flagged by 18 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, according to threat intelligence sources including Phishunt and PhishingArmy. It resolves to IP address 3.174.46.121 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Amazon. Registered on September 20, 2024 through GoDaddy.com, LLC, it has already appeared on two security blocklists and is flagged by Google Safe Browsing under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category. These indicators confirm the domain’s malicious purpose and operational timeline. Users who visited this domain should immediately check their PayPal accounts for unauthorized access or transactions. If credentials were entered, change the PayPal password immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Scan connected devices for malware using reputable antivirus software. Report the incident to PayPal support and avoid clicking on links from unsolicited emails or messages. To verify the legitimacy of a PayPal-related communication or domain, use PhishDestroy’s verification tools before providing any personal or financial information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 897eb86112360ee4445589437fd72b5f635fbcb414d0edab26a155544271df47 ## 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.cardpaysecurity.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal.cardpaysecurity.org 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.
