Paste the sender to unlock identity + infrastructure analysis

This scan analysed the message body only. Adding the sender address, a Gmail Name <a@b.com> line, or full headers unlocks:

  • Display-name impersonation
    Spot mismatched names like "PayPal Support" on a random Gmail.
  • SPF · DKIM · DMARC
    See whether the sending server is authorised to use that domain.
  • Domain age + registrar
    Brand-new domains are one of the strongest phish signals.
  • Breach exposure
    How many known data breaches this specific address appears in.
  • MX + DNSBL reputation
    Whether the domain can even receive mail and if it's on any blocklists.

This report URL contains a SHA-256 hash, while the cached report retains normalized sender components, display name when available, and derived evidence. Raw .eml and screenshot bytes are discarded after extraction. The page is noindex, but anyone with the link may be able to view it; do not submit secrets or confidential messages. If you received this email and are worried, do not click any links and do not reply — verify the sender through a known-good channel.
