# PhishDestroy threat dossier — michigan.com-cabsq.my ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 13:41:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/michigan.com-cabsq.my/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, 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) First detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 12:20:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:02:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 10:40:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] michigan.com-cabsq.my — Fake State Portal Phishing Report PhishDestroy identifies michigan.com-cabsq.my as a targeted phishing domain designed to mimic official Michigan state government portals, particularly those related to licensing, taxation, or public services. This domain was crafted to deceive residents into submitting sensitive login credentials, financial information, or personal identification details under the false pretense of accessing legitimate state resources. The site employs visual spoofing techniques, including cloned logos, official-looking forms, and urgent messaging about account verification or tax deadlines, to lower user vigilance and increase the likelihood of successful credential theft. Evidence supporting the malicious classification of michigan.com-cabsq.my is substantial. According to VirusTotal, 9 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating broad consensus among cybersecurity tools about its harmful nature. The domain was registered through a privacy-protected registrar, obscuring ownership details and complicating attribution efforts. While the exact creation date is not publicly disclosed, the domain's rapid appearance on multiple blocklists and its immediate use in phishing campaigns suggest recent deployment. Additionally, threat intelligence feeds have recorded this domain in active phishing kits targeting U.S. state-level services, further corroborating its role in credential harvesting operations. Users who have visited michigan.com-cabsq.my or entered information on this site should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, change passwords for any accounts accessed or submitted through the site, prioritizing email, banking, and government-related services. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for signs of unauthorized activity, and consider placing a fraud alert with major credit bureaus. If personal data such as Social Security numbers were disclosed, report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement. Finally, scan all devices used to access the domain for malware, as phishing sites often deploy additional payloads to maintain persistent access or exfiltrate further data. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/michigan.com-cabsq.my/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=michigan.com-cabsq.my Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
