## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.55.194 (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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-12 22:30:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 03:48:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:12:07 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.payrom.cc has been identified as a phishing site specifically designed to impersonate E-ZPass, a widely used electronic toll collection system in the United States. Analysis indicates this infrastructure was engineered to harvest credentials, payment details, and personal information from unsuspecting users attempting to settle toll charges. As of the latest verification, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity remains a documented threat.  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 resolved to the IP address 104.21.55.194, a hosting provider commonly utilized for transient phishing campaigns. Security telemetry shows the domain was flagged by 10 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, with detections including credential theft and brand impersonation. Additionally, the domain appeared on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious classification. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, was likely employed to lend an appearance of legitimacy to the fraudulent site.  Current status confirms ezpass.payrom.cc is offline, though the underlying infrastructure may remain dormant or repurposed. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP (104.21.55.194) at the network perimeter. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately reset credentials for any accounts linked to toll services or financial transactions. Monitoring for unauthorized access or fraudulent charges is strongly recommended, particularly for those who entered payment details on the site.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
