Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain recupero-paypal.com presents a high risk level and falls under the specific threat type of brand impersonation. This domain is actively impersonating PayPal, which poses a significant concern for users who may be misled into providing sensitive information. Analysis reveals that recupero-paypal.com was created on July 05, 2026, and is currently registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal flags this domain with a detection rate of 15 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a moderate level of scrutiny. The domain resolves to the IP address 151.247.193.159 and appears on one security blocklist. Additionally, it has been identified in one threat intelligence pulse within AlienVault OTX, which contributes to its overall risk profile. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, and the current status of the domain remains active, further heightening concerns regarding its legitimacy. Mitigation steps specific to brand impersonation threats include educating users on the characteristics of phishing attempts, such as unusual domain names and mismatched URLs. Organizations should implement robust email filtering solutions to detect and block communications from domains like recupero-paypal.com. Regular monitoring of brand reputation and employing domain monitoring services can also aid in swiftly identifying and responding to potential impersonation attempts. Users should be advised to verify the authenticity of requests for sensitive information by directly visiting official websites, rather than clicking on links from emails or messages. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 52038ca60f9267b9837d286b12181a9d ## 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/recupero-paypal.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=recupero-paypal.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.
