## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.63.95 (CA, Toronto)

## 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:22 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:11:49 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.paytsa.cc is identified as a generic phishing site, posing a significant threat to users who may encounter it. The domain is associated with the brand EZ Pass, a common target for phishing due to its widespread use and the sensitive financial information it handles. No specific drainer kit has been identified during the analysis, but the domain's infrastructure and behavior suggest it is part of a broader phishing campaign.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that ezpass.paytsa.cc has a VirusTotal (VT) score of 11/95, indicating that a notable portion of security vendors recognize it as a potential threat. The domain is registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar that often sees abuse by malicious actors. The domain was created on June 12, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.63.95. Additionally, the domain is flagged by PhishDestroy, a security service that tracks and blocks phishing sites, and appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature.

Currently, the domain is offline, which mitigates the immediate risk to potential victims. However, the elevated risk level and the domain's presence on blocklists suggest that it was actively used for phishing activities before being taken down. Organizations and individuals should remain vigilant and ensure that no cached or redirected traffic attempts to access this domain. Ongoing monitoring and education of users about phishing threats are recommended to prevent future incidents involving similar 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.
