What happened

Phishing tracker @phishunt_io posted on X on 11 November 2026 that paypal[.]kinofino[.]de is a PayPal-themed phishing site, hosted at IP 150.241.66.223 on Kyonix Networks (AS210457) in Germany. The domain also appears on the Phishing Army extended blocklist, a public phishing domain blocklist. This host is not an official PayPal address, and PayPal is impersonated. Log in to PayPal only through the official app or by typing paypal.com yourself.

How the scam works

Pages that copy a familiar sign-in form are usually reached from an email, text, advert, comment or search result that warns of a problem with an account, a delivery or a payment. The form looks official, but anything typed — a password, a one-time code or a wallet recovery phrase — goes to whoever set up the page rather than to the real company. Those details can be used at once to take over the account, change the recovery email or empty a wallet.

paypal.kinofino.de is not an official PayPal address. PayPal was impersonated and is not involved. The host IP listed in the tracker post sits on Kyonix Networks address space in Germany; that is the infrastructure provider, not proof the page is safe. The domain also appears on the Phishing Army extended blocklist. Sign in to PayPal only through the official app or by typing paypal.com yourself.

PayPal will not ask you to sign in on a kinofino.de host to solve a problem or confirm a payment. If you already entered a password or a one-time code there, change it in the official app and review recent activity.
