================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-26 16:26:56 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/md.payxie.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.17.85
Registrar:       Gname.com Pte. Ltd.
Nameservers:     ["heidi.ns.cloudflare.com", "renan.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:    2026-06-13 00:31:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 03:15:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 10:41:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies md.payxie.cc as a fraudulent payment portal designed to mimic the legitimate PayXie financial service. This domain operates as a credential-harvesting phishing site, specifically targeting users attempting to log in or complete transactions. No known drainer kit signatures were detected, but the site’s structure closely resembles common fake payment gateways used to steal login details and financial data.  This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection but clear malicious intent. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.17.85, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint that obscures the true origin of the attack. The registrar remains undisclosed, and domain creation records are not publicly available. Google Safe Browsing has not yet listed the domain, but it appears on at least one third-party blocklist. No SSL certificate irregularities were observed, which is common in phishing sites leveraging Cloudflare’s free certificates.  As of the latest scan (seed f8caee), md.payxie.cc has been taken offline, likely due to hosting provider intervention or the attacker’s decision to abandon the campaign. While the domain is no longer active, users who visited the site should immediately change their PayXie credentials and monitor their accounts for unauthorized transactions. The remaining risk is elevated for individuals who entered sensitive information before the takedown. Security teams are advised to block the domain and IP in corporate networks to prevent accidental access if the site resurfaces under a new configuration.

## 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.
