## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:15:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain ezpass.paylki.cc is assessed with an elevated risk level and is categorized as a generic phishing domain. Analysis indicates that this domain poses a significant threat to users who may inadvertently access it, potentially leading to credential theft or financial loss.

Technical assessment reveals that ezpass.paylki.cc has been flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of consensus among security tools regarding its malicious nature. The domain is registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar known for being used by threat actors. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which may be associated with other malicious activities. The domain was created on June 12, 2026, and currently appears on 1 security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which is a trusted authority, but the use of a reputable SSL provider does not guarantee the legitimacy of the domain. This discrepancy can be a tactic to gain user trust and reduce suspicion.

To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing domains like ezpass.paylki.cc, users and organizations should implement several security measures. First, ensure that all systems and browsers are updated with the latest security patches and antivirus definitions. Second, employ domain and IP reputation services to block access to known malicious sites. Third, educate users about the signs of phishing, such as unexpected emails, urgent requests for personal information, and suspicious URLs. Additionally, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can significantly reduce the impact of credential theft. Regularly monitoring network traffic and user activity for anomalies can also help in early detection and response to potential phishing attempts.

## 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.
