# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ezpass.paykie.cc
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-26 22:21:14 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ezpass.paykie.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Nameservers:     ["collins.ns.cloudflare.com", "rory.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-12

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-12 22:30:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 03:48:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:16:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, ezpass.paykie.cc, is confirmed as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to mimic legitimate toll payment authentication portals. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was established to deceive users into submitting sensitive login credentials, payment details, or personally identifiable information under false pretenses. No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified, but the domain exhibits classic phishing characteristics, including SSL encryption and brand impersonation of toll service providers.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 12, 2024, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar commonly associated with short-lived malicious domains. VirusTotal detection metrics show 10 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, with a focus on phishing-related threats. The domain appears on a single security blocklist, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a tactic frequently observed in phishing campaigns to lend false legitimacy. No associated IP address or Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is currently available, but the domain's rapid detection by multiple engines suggests a high-risk profile.  As of the latest assessment, ezpass.paykie.cc has been taken offline, likely in response to security vendor detections and blocklist inclusion. However, residual risk remains due to potential credential exposure from prior interactions. Users who accessed the domain are advised to rotate any submitted credentials immediately and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Organizations should update internal blocklists to include this domain and conduct retrospective log analysis to identify potential compromise indicators. The domain's short lifespan and rapid takedown align with common phishing campaign patterns, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with similar characteristics.

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
