## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar, 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.

michigan.safety-payai.vip Fake Payment Portal Warning

PhishDestroy has identified michigan.safety-payai.vip as a fraudulent payment portal designed to harvest sensitive financial credentials. This domain impersonates legitimate payment processing systems, likely targeting users who expect to interact with online transaction platforms. Victims may be tricked into entering credit card details, banking logins, or personal identification information under the false pretense of verifying or completing a payment. The domain’s structure, including the subdomain 'michigan,' suggests an attempt to appear regionally relevant or trustworthy, increasing the likelihood of successful deception.  Technical analysis reveals that michigan.safety-payai.vip currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by automated systems. The domain was registered through an offshore registrar, obscuring ownership details and complicating attribution efforts. As of the latest scan, no major blocklists have listed this domain, which may explain its temporary effectiveness in evading detection. The lack of prior alerts highlights the importance of proactive monitoring, as newer phishing domains often slip through initial defenses.  Users who visited michigan.safety-payai.vip should assume their credentials or payment information may have been compromised. Immediately change passwords for any accounts accessed after visiting the site, especially financial or email accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Monitor bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus. If sensitive data was entered, report the incident to local cybercrime authorities and notify your financial institution. PhishDestroy recommends scanning devices for malware, as phishing sites often redirect to exploit kits or download malicious payloads.

## 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.
