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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
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)

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

Is michigan.com-caalm.my a Fake Michigan Government Phishing

PhishDestroy identifies michigan.com-caalm.my as a credential-harvesting phishing site impersonating official Michigan government services. This fraudulent domain mimics state login pages to trick residents into entering sensitive personal information, such as driver’s license numbers, Social Security details, or unemployment account credentials. Once submitted, scammers use this data for identity theft, financial fraud, or selling on dark web marketplaces. The site specifically targets Michigan residents seeking government services, making it particularly dangerous for those expecting legitimate state communications.  This domain was flagged through automated threat intelligence pipelines despite showing 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The site was registered recently through an offshore registrar, a common tactic to delay takedowns. Its structure closely mirrors authentic Michigan state portals, including cloned logos, official-sounding language, and fake security badges to appear trustworthy. The lack of initial detections highlights how new phishing campaigns often evade automated tools until manual review or user reports confirm malicious intent.  If you visited michigan.com-caalm.my or entered any information, take immediate action to secure your accounts. First, change passwords for any Michigan state services you use, such as MILogin or unemployment portals, using a different device if possible. Enable two-factor authentication on all government and financial accounts. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized activity, and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus. Report the incident to the Michigan Attorney General’s office and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to help authorities track and shut down similar scams. Never reuse passwords from compromised sites, and verify all government communications by visiting official .gov domains directly.

## 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 (operator 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.
