paypal.ph — Banking Phishing Report

The domain paypal.ph is currently active and has been identified as a banking phishing infrastructure. Automated analysis shows the site returns an HTTP 301 status, indicating it redirects visitors to another location, a common technique used to obscure the final malicious landing page. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has been flagged by two of ninety‑one security vendors on VirusTotal, confirming that at least a subset of scanning engines have detected malicious characteristics. PhishDestroy has already taken action to block the domain, suggesting that downstream protection services may already be filtering traffic to it.

The limited detection count and single blocklist entry imply that the campaign may be in an early deployment phase or using low‑profile hosting to avoid broader detection. No additional intelligence such as registrar details, IP address, ASN, SSL certificate, or page title is presently available, leaving the underlying hosting environment and potential command‑and‑control infrastructure uncharacterized. Defenders should prioritize monitoring DNS queries for paypal.ph and enforce outbound filtering to block any HTTP redirects associated with the domain.

Network security devices should be updated to include the observed blocklist entry and the two vendor detections as indicators of compromise. Incident response teams should also consider adding the domain to internal threat intel feeds and watch for related domains that may share similar registration patterns or redirect behavior. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as additional detections or blocklist listings may emerge as the phishing campaign matures.

## 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.
