## 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 00:14:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:53:50 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.payims.cc is classified under the threat type of generic phishing with an elevated risk level. This assessment is based on various indicators, including its recent detection by multiple security solutions and its status on security blocklists. The domain's offline status reduces its immediate threat, but the presence of these markers signifies that it posed a considerable risk when active.

An in-depth analysis of the domain reveals several critical data points. Notably, 14 out of 95 security vendors on a well-known threat intelligence platform have flagged md.payims.cc as malicious. This detection rate underscores the domain's engagement in activities typical of phishing operations. Registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., the domain was created on June 12, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 104.21.85.96. Furthermore, the domain appears on at least one known security blocklist, specifically blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services may have facilitated the domain's initial trustworthiness, contributing to its potential effectiveness in deceptive tactics.

To mitigate the risks associated with domains like md.payims.cc, it is crucial to implement robust cybersecurity measures. Organizations should ensure that their email systems are equipped with advanced filtering mechanisms to detect and block phishing attempts. Continuous monitoring of threat intelligence feeds for emerging threats is advisable. Additionally, educating users about the dangers of phishing and encouraging the verification of suspicious communications can help prevent successful phishing attacks. The offline status of md.payims.cc should not lead to complacency, as similar threats may still be active or emerge in the future.

## 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.
