Analysis of the domain payai.finance, registered through Cloudflare, Inc., indicates it was operating as a high-risk crypto drainer scam targeting users with a fraudulent airdrop offer. The domain resolved to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3030::ac43:8720, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States. Nameservers sasha.ns.cloudflare.com and sullivan.ns.cloudflare.com were associated with the domain, further linking it to Cloudflare's infrastructure. The page title, 'PayAI - Airdrop for the AI Age,' suggests an attempt to lure victims with promises of cryptocurrency rewards, a common tactic in crypto drainer schemes. The domain was identified as utilizing the Angel Drainer kit, a known toolset for siphoning cryptocurrency from victims' wallets.
It appeared on two security blocklists and was actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, indicating prior detection by industry tools. Despite these red flags, the domain was not flagged by any of the 95 vendors in the most recent VirusTotal scan, though the absence of detections does not confirm safety. No SSL certificate was present, which is atypical for legitimate financial or airdrop platforms and may have served as an additional indicator of compromise. As of July 24, 2026, payai.finance has been taken offline, though its prior activity and infrastructure remain relevant for threat intelligence purposes.
Defenders should treat any prior connections to this domain as potential exposure to a crypto drainer campaign. Organizations are advised to review logs for interactions with the IP 2606:4700:3030::ac43:8720, the domain itself, or associated nameservers. Given the use of Cloudflare's registrar and hosting services, similar domains may emerge, warranting monitoring of newly registered domains with comparable naming conventions or infrastructure patterns. The unique seed 31fe8c may assist in correlating this campaign with other related threats.

인증 및 RAA 상황
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
An estimated time describes an observation window. It does not prove a registrar action or the exact moment a site became unavailable.
Check for cloaking
Compare what a browser and a crawler receive, and check for Keitaro traffic routing.

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections
This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.
The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.
A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
