# PhishDestroy threat dossier — state.ghbpay.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 08:37:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/state.ghbpay.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 170.106.51.191 Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited Nameservers: ["ns7.alidns.com", "ns8.alidns.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 03:15:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 10:22:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies state.ghbpay.cc as an active credential theft phishing domain targeting unsuspecting users. This domain mimics legitimate payment or financial service portals to harvest login credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information. No direct association with a specific brand or crypto drainer kit has been confirmed at this time, but the domain structure and naming convention suggest an intent to deceive users into believing it is a trusted payment gateway. The lack of brand impersonation markers indicates a broader, opportunistic credential harvesting approach rather than a targeted campaign. Technical analysis reveals that state.ghbpay.cc currently holds a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it as malicious at the time of investigation. The domain resolves to the IP address 170.106.51.191, which may host additional malicious infrastructure. Registrar details and domain creation date remain undisclosed, limiting further attribution. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries have been reported. The absence of detections does not equate to safety, as phishing domains often evade detection during their initial deployment phase. As of the latest assessment, state.ghbpay.cc has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk to users. However, the domain may resurface under a different IP or with altered infrastructure. Response actions include monitoring for re-emergence and submitting the domain to threat intelligence platforms for broader awareness. Users who may have interacted with this domain are advised to change passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and review financial statements for unauthorized activity. Organizations should update email and web filtering rules to block access to this domain and its associated IP. Vigilance remains critical, as credential theft domains often rotate quickly to evade detection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/state.ghbpay.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=state.ghbpay.cc 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.
