tamahaubay.com is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as the website of Tamahau, a restaurant on Opunohu's Bay in Moorea. It targets travelers and diners looking to book a table or contact the venue online. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-10-17, one day after it was registered. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still online and serving its content.
How the scam works
The page carries the title "Tamahau — Opunohu’s Bay | Restaurant à Moorea", so a visitor sees what looks like the restaurant's own site rather than an obvious scam. Look-alike hospitality sites usually work by sitting where a real venue's site should be. They push visitors toward reservation forms, deposit or prepayment requests, or contact forms. These collect names, email addresses, phone numbers and payment card details. The victim may lose money paid for a booking that does not exist and may have their card and personal data reused for further fraud. The title reads as a legitimate restaurant site, while our analysis classifies the domain as an impersonation of that business.
Evidence
Independent detection is currently thin. On 2026-10-17, VirusTotal showed 0 detections out of 92 engines, so standard antivirus and URL scanners do not yet flag the site. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist. It also appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat-intelligence pulses. The fresh registration and the brand-matching name support the impersonation classification despite the clean scanner results.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-16 through the registrar Gransy, s.r.o. It resolves to 166.117.205.170 on AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.) in the United States. The site uses a TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt (YE1), so the padlock in the browser only means the connection is encrypted. It does not confirm that the site belongs to the restaurant.
What to do
If you visited tamahaubay.com, do not make bookings or payments through it. Reach the restaurant through contact details you have verified independently. If you entered card details, contact your bank or card issuer right away to block the card and dispute any charges. If you shared your email or phone number, expect follow-up phishing and treat unsolicited booking confirmations with suspicion. Security teams should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level, and report it to the hosting provider and registrar for takedown.

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.
