picstores.shop.group-2.online is on the PhishDestroy blocklist. It presented itself as a Spanish-language anime streaming portal titled "Anime Stream - Inicio". PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-07. The site has been offline since 2026-10-17 and was still unreachable when checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title points to a free anime streaming site, while Spamhaus lists the domain under its phishing category. Free streaming sites are a common lure because visitors expect sign-up prompts, "verify your account" steps, player or codec downloads and pop-up redirects, so these requests do not look out of place. The evidence supports a phishing risk, meaning attempts to collect logins, personal details or payment information. It does not show which brand or method was used here.
Evidence
On 2026-10-08, VirusTotal showed 9 of 92 engines flagging the domain. Named vendors include BitDefender, Kaspersky, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and SOCRadar. That is a minority of engines, but it is a spread of unrelated security vendors rather than a single outlier. Spamhaus DBL lists the domain as DBL_PHISH, which independently matches the phishing concern, and PhishDestroy carries it on its own blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 2024-02-20, more than two and a half years before PhishDestroy detected it. The long nested hostname under a generic-looking parent domain lets one registration hold many disposable subdomains. Hosting sat on the IWSNET IWS NETWORKS LLC network, located in the Netherlands. The Let's Encrypt certificate only means the padlock appeared; it says nothing about whether the site was trustworthy.
What to do
If you created an account or typed a password on this site, change that password everywhere you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication. If you entered card details, contact your bank to block the card and dispute any unfamiliar charges. If you downloaded a "player" or other file from it, delete the file and run a full scan with up-to-date security software. Defenders should block the domain and its parent group-2.online at DNS or proxy level, check logs for visits since 2026-10-07, and watch for the same anime-streaming lure appearing on sibling subdomains.
