# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ezpass.paynzv.cc
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-27 20:30:14 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ezpass.paynzv.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Nameservers:     ["mariah.ns.cloudflare.com", "walt.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 22:30:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 03:48:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:12:15 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.paynzv.cc, is identified as a credential phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate E-ZPass, a toll collection service. Analysis indicates the domain was created to harvest login credentials, payment details, or personal information from unsuspecting users. No specific drainer kit or malware family has been conclusively linked to this domain at this time, though its structure and naming convention align with known credential phishing campaigns targeting transportation and financial services.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal detections show 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating moderate consensus on its phishing classification. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to phishing sites. The domain appears on one security blocklist and was actively blocked by at least one threat intelligence feed prior to takedown. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers were identified in the available data, though further forensic analysis may reveal additional infrastructure.

As of the latest verification, ezpass.paynzv.cc has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by the registrar or hosting provider. Despite its current inactive status, the domain's creation date and detection history suggest it was part of a short-lived but targeted phishing operation. Organizations and users are advised to monitor for residual threats, such as redirected traffic or secondary domains registered under the same infrastructure. Security teams should update blocklists to include this domain and review logs for any prior interactions, particularly those involving E-ZPass branding or toll-related phishing lures.

## 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.
