  Flagging vendors: CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.

## 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

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 12:20:35 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 is flagged as an elevated-risk phishing threat specializing in toll payment credential theft. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to mimic legitimate electronic toll collection systems, likely targeting users of regional toll services through deceptive payment prompts. The threat type aligns with credential harvesting campaigns that exploit trust in automated billing systems.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain ezpass.paylkt.cc was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and currently resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. Security vendor detection shows 8 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by enterprise phishing prevention systems. Despite using a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, the domain was taken offline following detection, though historical resolution data remains a valid indicator for retrospective analysis.  Mitigation requires immediate action from both enterprise and individual stakeholders. Network administrators should implement DNS-based blocking for the domain and its resolving IP address 188.114.97.3 in perimeter security controls. End users who accessed the domain should rotate credentials for any accounts entered on the site, particularly those associated with financial services or toll payment systems. Organizations should conduct retrospective log analysis for connections to the domain or IP between June 12 and its takedown date. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar domains registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. with recent creation dates, as this registrar has been observed in multiple credential phishing campaigns targeting automated payment systems.

## 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.
