paypal.no Fake PayPal Banking Credential Harvest Alert

This domain, paypal.no, is actively impersonating PayPal as part of a banking credential harvesting operation. As of July 27, 2026, the domain remains live with a 301 HTTP redirect status, suggesting it is part of an active phishing infrastructure. Analysis indicates that 3 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, though this does not represent a full consensus. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy, reinforcing its classification as a high-risk threat.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain uses a mix of nameservers, including pdns100.ultradns.net, pdns100.ultradns.com, ns1-pchnet.paypal.com, and ns2-pchnet.paypal.com. The inclusion of PayPal-branded nameservers may indicate an attempt to blend into legitimate PayPal infrastructure or exploit misconfigured trust mechanisms. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate brands, which may complicate automated detection efforts. No additional details about the exact content of the phishing page, such as login forms or data collection methods, are available at this time.

Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or network level. Monitoring for connections to this domain, particularly from endpoints handling financial or sensitive data, is recommended. If internal access logs indicate user interaction with this domain, immediate credential reset procedures should be initiated for affected accounts. Further investigation into the redirect chain and associated IP addresses may reveal additional infrastructure linked to this campaign.

## 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.
