Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

Model opinions

Second opinionlooks like abusetarget: PayPalconfidence 80%· claude-opus-5-5

The name pairs the distinctive PayPal brand with 'usd', echoing PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, on a .xyz registered through Korean registrar hosting.kr, an implausible channel for PayPal's own registration. The page is only hosting.kr's 'Coming Soon' placeholder, and the flagged form is the registrar's domain-search box, not a credential capture, so this is a brand-squat rather than active phishing.
