## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.146.218 (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 22:30:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:22 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:11:33 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.payuel.cc has been identified as a phishing site specifically designed to harvest toll service account credentials. Analysis indicates this infrastructure impersonates legitimate electronic toll collection platforms, posing a direct threat to users who may enter sensitive login details or payment information. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively targeting individuals through deceptive email or SMS campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and resolves to the IP address 172.67.146.218. It appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 10 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate to high detection rates. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The combination of a recently registered domain, low blocklist prevalence, and high vendor detection suggests a targeted phishing operation rather than widespread malicious infrastructure.  Current status confirms the domain has been taken offline, likely in response to detection and mitigation efforts. However, the threat actor may re-establish operations under a new domain or infrastructure. Users who accessed this site are advised to immediately change credentials for any toll service accounts, monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Organizations should update security filters to block the domain and associated IP, and conduct internal awareness training to educate users on recognizing phishing attempts targeting toll or transportation services.

[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.
