## 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 22:16:00 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.paylku.cc, poses a phishing threat, specifically categorized as generic phishing. Phishing sites like this one are designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data, often by masquerading as a legitimate entity. Despite being offline now, the domain's previous activity was aimed at exploiting user trust to harvest personal data.

Intelligence gathered on ezpass.paylku.cc reveals that it was created on June 12, 2026, and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. The domain resolved to the IP address 104.21.40.71. Security analysis indicates that 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious, highlighting its potential threat level. Furthermore, it was blocked by a known anti-phishing entity, PhishDestroy, and appeared on at least one security blocklist, reinforcing its classification as a threat.

If an individual visited this domain, it is crucial to take immediate steps to secure their accounts. They should change passwords for any accounts that might have been exposed and monitor for any unusual activity. Additionally, it's advisable to use security software to scan for potential malware infections that might have resulted from interacting with the site. Remaining vigilant and keeping software updated are key practices for mitigating the risk posed by such phishing domains.

## 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.
