  - www.phanpay.io

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-26 05:17:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

phanpay.io is an active phishing domain posing as a cryptocurrency payment portal to deceive users into entering wallet credentials or payment details. Security vendors have identified this site as a fraudulent impersonation of legitimate crypto services, specifically targeting individuals expecting to process transactions via a spoofed payment interface. The domain leverages social engineering tactics to mimic payment flows, increasing the likelihood of credential theft or financial loss upon interaction.

PhishDestroy identifies phanpay.io as a confirmed fraudulent domain with multiple indicators of compromise. VirusTotal analysis shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain at time of detection. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on May 10, 2026, and has already been blocked by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. Additionally, it appears on 3 separate security blocklists and resolves to IP address 94.183.168.68. The site holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may contribute to false trust among visitors.

Users who visited phanpay.io should immediately cease any interaction and avoid entering any credentials, wallet addresses, or payment information. If any data was submitted, treat it as compromised and take immediate action: revoke connected wallet permissions, transfer funds to a new wallet, and scan devices for malware. Report the incident to your wallet provider and consider filing a complaint with relevant cybercrime authorities. Avoid returning to the domain and warn others who may have been targeted, as this campaign remains active.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3ff5b2bfdbb83b8ef7e606dac8572a9a85dc255a1c77ea01936d84841715042b

## 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.
