Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] peazip.com Fake PeaZip Software Credential Theft Alert This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential theft operation targeting users seeking PeaZip, an open-source file archiver utility. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate software distribution channels to harvest login credentials, API keys, or other sensitive authentication data under the guise of providing a downloadable application. The threat type is specifically credential theft, not generic phishing or malware distribution, as evidenced by the site's focus on user input fields and login prompts during interaction. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple concerning indicators. The domain peazip.com, registered through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, resolves to the IP address 35.214.148.249. Despite its long-standing creation date of June 07, 2007, the domain has been flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting recent malicious activity. It is currently blocked by two major security blocklists, OISD and Hagezi, and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site's operations. The page title, 'Peazip.com - Download Peazip for PC,' reinforces the impersonation of the legitimate PeaZip brand. Mitigation steps for this credential theft threat include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address across all network security controls. Organizations should deploy endpoint protection that detects and prevents access to known malicious domains, particularly those impersonating software distribution platforms. Users should be educated to verify the authenticity of software download sources by cross-referencing official vendor websites and checking for valid digital signatures on downloaded files. Additionally, multi-factor authentication should be enforced for all accounts to mitigate the impact of stolen credentials. Security teams are advised to monitor for unusual authentication attempts or data exfiltration patterns linked to this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 197b5cceece4522514948eee43a12117e9e2cca2fd1240e3c4743fd07abbfb7a ## 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/peazip.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=peazip.com 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.
