## 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:      104.21.22.246
Registrar:       Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Nameservers:     ["may.ns.cloudflare.com", "pete.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

Last verified:     2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:57:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain md.payaef.cc is identified as a credential theft domain and is currently offline. It was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and has been taken down, indicating a response to security alerts.

Analysis indicates that md.payaef.cc was flagged by 6 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, suggesting a moderate level of consensus among security providers regarding its malicious nature. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.22.246 and was created on June 12, 2026. It appears on 1 security blocklist, which further corroborates its involvement in phishing activities. The SSL certificate for the domain is issued by Google Trust Services, which could be used to gain user trust.

The current status of the domain is offline, which reduces immediate risk. However, it is recommended that organizations continue to monitor for any signs of reactivation. Users should be informed and trained to recognize and avoid credential theft attempts, and network administrators should ensure that their security measures are updated to block any related IP addresses and domains. Regularly updating threat intelligence feeds and maintaining robust phishing detection systems will help mitigate potential future threats associated with md.payaef.cc.

## 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.
