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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, 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

michigan.com-cagir.my Fake State Portal Credential Harvesting

PhishDestroy identifies the domain michigan.com-cagir.my as a credential-harvesting phishing site designed to impersonate official Michigan state government portals. As of the latest assessment, this domain remains offline, though it was previously active in targeting users seeking state services, tax information, or public assistance programs. The threat specifically focuses on stealing login credentials, personal identification details, and sensitive financial data under the guise of legitimate state communications.  Technical analysis reveals that the domain michigan.com-cagir.my was registered through an offshore registrar and currently shows zero detections across 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged as malicious. The domain resolves to a shared hosting IP address with a low reputation score and has no entries on major blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing or PhishTank. Its creation date suggests it was deployed recently, likely to exploit current events or seasonal spikes in state-related inquiries. No associated malware payloads or exploit kits have been identified, reinforcing its classification as a pure credential-theft operation.  At present, michigan.com-cagir.my has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to the public. However, users who may have interacted with the domain prior to its deactivation are advised to take immediate action. PhishDestroy recommends changing passwords for any Michigan state accounts, enabling multi-factor authentication, and monitoring financial statements for unauthorized activity. Organizations should update email security filters to block domains containing "michigan.com" in subdomains or paths, and report any suspicious communications to the Michigan Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. Vigilance is critical, as similar domains may reappear under different names.

## 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.
