Paypal phishing and impersonation - 2 domains observed
MalwareAnalyzer by Cyble has observed 2 distinct domains impersonating Paypal across 11 URL scans. 2 of them carry a malicious or suspicious verdict, and the pages were built with the kit generic paypal harvester. None of these domains belong to Paypal; they are sites impersonating it, detected by comparing a page's claimed identity against evidence of who actually operates it.
Paypal-branded phishing pages on compromised or third-party sites
These domains are NOT lookalikes of Paypal - most are legitimate sites that have been compromised, or free-hosting space, serving a page that presents Paypal branding in a credential or payment context. The domain owner is usually a victim too; each row is about the hosted page, never an accusation against the domain itself.

Malware observed hosted on or communicating with these domains
None yet. That is the honest state, not a gap in the page: credential-harvesting phishing mostly collects logins rather than serving executables, so a domain can be actively hostile with no malware ever hosted on it. This section fills in only when a sample's runtime traffic, extracted configuration or download provenance evidences one of these domains - a hostname merely appearing inside a file's bytes is listed separately below and never counted here.
Samples containing one of these hostnames as a string
These samples merely CONTAIN one of the impersonating hostnames somewhere in their bytes - an embedded blocklist, a configuration template or a bundled report produces the same observation - so this is NOT evidence the sample ever contacted the domain, and it is never counted as an attack on Paypal.

How impersonation is detected
A page's CLAIMED identity (its title, og:site_name, favicon and phishing-kit
fingerprint) is compared against evidence of who actually operates it: the certificate subject
organisation, the RDAP registrant and the announcing network. A free domain-validated certificate
asserts nothing about ownership, and that asymmetry is itself the signal. A page on Paypal's
own apex with a matching certificate organisation is treated as the real property, not an
impersonation, which is why this list does not include Paypal's own sites.
These are point-in-time observations. A domain listed here may since have been taken down, and absence from this list is not evidence a domain is safe.
Questions about Paypal phishing
- How many domains are impersonating Paypal?
- 2 distinct domains, seen across 11 public URL scans, of which 2 currently carry a malicious or suspicious verdict.
- How can I tell a fake Paypal site from the real one?
- Compare what the page CLAIMS against who demonstrably operates it: the certificate subject organisation, the domain's registrant and the network announcing its address. A free domain-validated certificate proves control of the name and nothing about ownership, and that asymmetry is the signal - a real Paypal property does not need to borrow the brand's look.
- Which phishing kits target Paypal?
- generic paypal harvester (11 scans). A kit fingerprint means the page was built from a known toolkit rather than hand-made, which usually indicates a campaign rather than a one-off.
- Is a domain safe if it is not listed here?
- No. This lists what MalwareAnalyzer has scanned, not the whole internet, and a domain taken down yesterday still appears. Absence is not evidence of safety - scan the specific URL.
