# PhishDestroy threat dossier — maryland.payhca.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 09:32:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/maryland.payhca.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.30.32 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["gordon.ns.cloudflare.com", "vita.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 22:30:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 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 21:58:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged for elevated risk due to its involvement in credential theft operations targeting healthcare-related users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate healthcare payment portals, a common tactic for harvesting sensitive login credentials, personal data, or financial information. The specific threat type—credential theft—poses significant risks to individuals and organizations, particularly those in the healthcare sector, where compromised accounts can lead to unauthorized access to protected health information or financial fraud. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain maryland.payhca.cc was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.30.32, which is part of a network range known for hosting phishing and fraudulent sites. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and VirusTotal reports that 6 out of 95 security vendors flag it as malicious. Additionally, the domain was blocked by PhishDestroy, further corroborating its fraudulent nature. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, does not mitigate the risk, as legitimate certificates are often exploited to lend false credibility to phishing sites. To mitigate the risks associated with credential theft, users and organizations should implement the following measures. First, verify the authenticity of any healthcare-related payment portal by cross-referencing the domain with official sources and checking for subtle misspellings or irregularities. Second, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts to reduce the impact of stolen credentials. Third, deploy email and web filtering solutions to block known malicious domains and IPs, such as 104.21.30.32, at the network level. Finally, conduct regular security awareness training to educate users on recognizing phishing attempts, particularly those impersonating healthcare services. If interaction with this domain is suspected, reset credentials immediately and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/maryland.payhca.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=maryland.payhca.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
