## 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)

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:16:04 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.paylke.cc, is identified as a toll credential phishing site targeting users of electronic toll collection systems. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate toll service portals, tricking victims into submitting payment card details, account credentials, or personal identification information under the guise of resolving unpaid tolls or account verification. The domain specifically exploits the branding and user interface elements of regional toll authorities, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among drivers and commuters.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.216.193, which is part of a content delivery network known to obscure origin servers. As of the latest scan, 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged ezpass.paylke.cc as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users.  Users who visited ezpass.paylke.cc or entered any information on the site should take immediate action. First, revoke any credentials or payment details submitted, and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized transactions. Second, run a full antivirus scan on the device used to access the site to detect potential malware or keyloggers. Finally, report the incident to the legitimate toll service provider and relevant cybersecurity authorities to aid in tracking and mitigating the threat. The domain is currently offline, but similar phishing attempts may resurface using comparable infrastructure or branding.

## 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.
