Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] paypal.com.ve — Banking Phishing Investigation This domain, paypal.com.ve, is currently classified as a high‑risk banking phishing site. The domain is actively serving content and returns an HTTP 301 status, indicating a permanent redirect, which is a common technique used by phishing operators to forward victims to a malicious landing page. Threat intelligence indicates that the domain has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service and is listed on one external security blocklist, confirming that at least one independent feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that three out of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of its malicious nature despite a relatively low detection ratio. The presence of these detections, combined with the active status and the high‑risk rating, suggests that the infrastructure behind paypal.com.ve is being used to harvest credentials for PayPal accounts or to conduct fraudulent financial transactions. No further technical details such as registrar information, hosting IP, ASN, or SSL certificate data are available in the current intelligence set, leaving the full scope of the supporting infrastructure uncertain. Defenders should prioritize blocking the domain at the perimeter, including DNS filtering, proxy, and firewall rules, to prevent user access. Continuous monitoring of DNS query logs for lookups to paypal.com.ve is advised, as is the inclusion of the domain in internal threat‑intel feeds. Organizations should also educate users about the risk of unsolicited emails that claim to originate from PayPal and encourage verification of URLs before credential entry. Given the active nature of the threat, regular re‑evaluation of the domain’s status and periodic rescanning with VirusTotal or similar services are recommended to capture any changes in detection prevalence. ## 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.ve/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paypal.com.ve 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.
