paulheuston[.]com

The domain paulheuston.com is currently active and returns HTTP 200 responses. It was registered on March 14, 2026 through GoDaddy.com, LLC and hosts a single page whose title matches the domain. The site presents a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate (R13) and resolves to the IPv4 address 192.185.189.42. These surface characteristics alone do not indicate benign intent, but the surrounding intelligence points to malicious use.

Infrastructure analysis shows the address belongs to AS19871, operated by Network Solutions, LLC, located in the United States. The web server is identified as Apache HTTP Server, and the domain relies on the default websitewelcome.com name servers (ns237.websitewelcome.com, ns238.websitewelcome.com). A mail exchanger is configured as mail.paulheuston.com, suggesting intent to receive communications, possibly for credential harvesting. The presence of a legitimate TLS certificate does not mitigate the risk, as Let’s Encrypt certificates are freely obtainable by any operator.

Threat intelligence flags paulheuston.com as a generic phishing site. VirusTotal scans have resulted in 13 out of 95 security vendors marking the domain as malicious, and the site appears on at least one public blocklist. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of trust. Additionally, the domain is listed by PhishDestroy as blocked, reinforcing the classification of active phishing activity.

Defenders should block network traffic to 192.185.189.42 and add paulheuston.com to URL filtering policies. Email gateways should be configured to reject or quarantine messages originating from mail.paulheuston.com. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its name servers is recommended, as any change may signal a shift in campaign infrastructure. Incident response teams should treat any credential submissions to this domain as compromised and advise affected users to reset passwords immediately.
