## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: PayPal

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/95 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City)
ASN:             AS396982 Google LLC
Hosting org:     Google Cloud
Registrar:       Wix.com Ltd.
Nameservers:     NS_NOT_FOUND

Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - wixstudio.com

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:18 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-21 00:27:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-20 20:23:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Is paypaloauth.wixstudio.com a banking phishing site?

Analysis conducted on July 20, 2026 identifies paypaloauth.wixstudio.com as an active infrastructure used for banking credential harvesting. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 34.144.206.118 and remains reachable at the time of writing. Registration data shows the domain was created through Wix.com Ltd., a popular website‑builder platform, indicating the use of a legitimate registrar to obscure malicious intent. VirusTotal records indicate the domain has been submitted to 95 scanning engines, yet none have generated a detection; this lack of flags does not constitute evidence of safety and should be treated as inconclusive. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, suggesting that at least one external sinkhole or filtering organization has identified it as malicious. Nameserver information is unavailable (NS_NOT_FOUND), limiting further resolution analysis. No public Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate, HTTP status, trust score, page‑title, or evidence‑link data were observed, leaving those vectors unverified. Defenders should consider the domain as a high‑confidence phishing indicator, block network traffic to 34.144.206.118, and enforce email filtering rules that detect URLs containing the "paypaloauth" sub‑domain pattern. Continuous monitoring of the host’s activity, periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal, and correlation with user‑reported phishing attempts are recommended to confirm ongoing threat activity and to update mitigation policies as additional intelligence becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b3a28e80142aa4908d146d48f8f4cfdf
TLS cert SHA-256:      4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450

## 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.
