  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3 (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

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:11:11 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.payxet.cc, is flagged as a generic phishing site designed to impersonate legitimate toll payment portals. Users who visit the site may be prompted to enter sensitive information such as login credentials, payment card details, or personal identification numbers. The site mimics official toll service interfaces to deceive victims into disclosing financial or authentication data, which can then be exploited for fraudulent transactions or identity theft.

Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which does not validate the site's legitimacy. As of the latest scan, 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. The domain has since been taken offline, but similar threats may persist under different addresses.

If you accessed ezpass.payxet.cc or entered any information on the site, immediately cease all interaction and take the following steps: change passwords for any accounts linked to the information provided, monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions, and report the incident to your financial institution. Enable multi-factor authentication on critical accounts to mitigate further risk. Consider scanning your device for malware, as phishing sites may deploy additional payloads. Exercise caution with unsolicited messages or links, even if they appear to originate from trusted organizations.

## 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.
