# PhishDestroy threat dossier — paywithcrypts.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 12:22:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/paywithcrypts.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_divergence) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies paywithcrypts.live as an active crypto drainer posing as a cryptocurrency payment portal. This domain employs deceptive tactics to trick users into unknowingly authorizing malicious transactions, potentially resulting in irreversible cryptocurrency theft. The infrastructure is currently under active exploitation, with no detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, indicating its novelty and evasion techniques. This domain was flagged with a risk level of 'under_investigation' and has been linked to the following indicators of compromise (IOCs): registered through NameSilo, LLC, secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and resolving to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain was created on May 04, 2026, and currently exhibits 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, suggesting it has not yet been widely recognized or blocked by security vendors. The combination of a recently registered domain, low detection rates, and the specific use of a crypto drainer mechanism heightens the risk of successful exploitation. To mitigate exposure to this threat, security teams and users are advised to immediately block the domain paywithcrypts.live and its associated IP address 188.114.97.3 at the network level. Additionally, implement strict URL filtering policies to prevent access to this domain and closely monitor network traffic for any connections to this IP. For end users, exercise extreme caution when encountering payment-related prompts, especially those involving cryptocurrency transactions. Verify the legitimacy of payment portals by cross-referencing with official sources and ensure that any transaction interfaces match the expected domain and SSL certificate details. If this domain has been accessed, disconnect from the internet, scan for malware, and consider revoking any cryptocurrency wallet permissions granted to untrusted applications. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260506-ACBE7D Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 TLS cert SHA-256: fba888f4694564d69763d3df1f35ab61d03b42c709abc2ce849af0941068e029 ## 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 (volunteer 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/paywithcrypts.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=paywithcrypts.live 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
