## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.130.124 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
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 22:30:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:22 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:16:05 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.paykiz.cc, is identified as a credential theft site specifically targeting users of electronic toll collection services. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials by mimicking legitimate toll service portals, a tactic commonly employed in targeted phishing campaigns. No direct association with cryptocurrency drainer kits or other financial malware has been observed, though credential theft remains the primary objective. The domain does not appear to impersonate a single well-known brand but rather leverages generic toll service branding to maximize victim reach.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.130.124, a hosting provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious sites. It was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently exploited for short-lived phishing domains. The domain is flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection but sufficient confirmation of malicious intent. It appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content or intent.  As of the latest assessment, ezpass.paykiz.cc has been taken offline, likely due to hosting provider intervention or registrar suspension. However, the risk of reemergence remains elevated, as threat actors often redeploy phishing infrastructure under new domains or IPs. Users who may have interacted with this site are advised to immediately reset credentials for any toll service accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update security controls to block the domain and associated IP, while remaining vigilant for similar credential theft attempts targeting transportation or financial service portals.

## 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.
