Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: Solana
Wallet drainer: Solana Drainer

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       Cloudflare, Inc.

Page title:      PayAI Network | Airdrop

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2025-10-28 10:42:59 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 06:06:59 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:26:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies www-payai.network as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain impersonating the Solana brand. The site falsely advertises a PayAI Network airdrop to lure users into exposing their wallet credentials, aiming to steal cryptocurrency assets.

The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered via Cloudflare, Inc. VirusTotal flags 4 out of 95 security engines detecting the domain as malicious. The domain employs a known Solana drainer kit and appears on two security blocklists, reinforcing its fraudulent intent.

Currently, www-payai.network has been taken offline, mitigating immediate threats. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain or providing any private keys. Always verify airdrop legitimacy through official Solana channels and maintain up-to-date security measures to prevent crypto theft.

## 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.
