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 18:24:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal.com.hk used for banking credential theft The domain paypal.com.hk is currently flagged as an active banking phishing site. Infrastructure analysis shows the URL responds with an HTTP 301 status, indicating a permanent redirect that may be used to funnel victims to a credential‑harvesting endpoint. The domain has been added to a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one phishing‑mitigation platform has identified malicious activity. VirusTotal records indicate that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the scanners raised a detection at the time of analysis. While the absence of vendor detections suggests the payload may be evasive or still under the radar, it cannot be interpreted as evidence of benign intent. No public information is available regarding the registrar, hosting IP address, SSL certificate details, Safe Browsing status, or page title, leaving those aspects of the infrastructure unverified. Consequently, the precise hosting location, certificate legitimacy, and content of the landing page remain uncertain. Defenders should continue to block the domain at the network perimeter and update URL filtering policies to include paypal.com.hk. Security teams are advised to monitor the domain for changes in detection status, additional blocklist listings, or emerging threat intelligence that could reveal the hosting provider or the nature of the redirect target. Users should be reminded to verify PayPal URLs carefully, avoid clicking unsolicited links, and report any suspicious communications that reference this domain to their incident response team. ## 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.com.hk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal.com.hk 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.
