## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  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)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Nameservers:     ["darwin.ns.cloudflare.com", "martha.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 22:30:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:57:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, md.paydie.cc, is identified as a credential theft phishing operation designed to harvest sensitive user login details. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit, though the subdomain structure suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate payment or authentication portals. The threat actor likely employed social engineering tactics to deceive victims into submitting credentials, which could be exploited for unauthorized account access or further malicious activity.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on June 12, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate domain spoofing or a registration error. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, a host with no prior reputation for benign activity. Detection metrics show 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appears on at least one security blocklist. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, provides minimal assurance, as phishing domains frequently abuse legitimate certificate authorities to appear credible.  As of the latest assessment, md.paydie.cc has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or the threat actor abandoning the infrastructure. However, residual risk persists for users who may have interacted with the domain prior to its removal. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for unauthorized access attempts, rotate exposed credentials, and implement multi-factor authentication to mitigate potential fallout. The domain’s registration with a low-reputation registrar and its inclusion on blocklists underscore the need for continued vigilance against similar credential theft campaigns.

## 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.
