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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, 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-payit.vip: Fake Payment Portal Phishing Scam

PhishDestroy identifies michigan.safety-payit.vip as a fraudulent payment portal designed to harvest sensitive financial information from unsuspecting users. This domain mimics legitimate payment processing services, tricking victims into entering credit card details, banking credentials, or personal identification information under the guise of a secure transaction. The site specifically targets users searching for quick payment solutions, often through deceptive ads or phishing emails that redirect to this malicious domain.  Investigative data reveals that michigan.safety-payit.vip has flown under the radar with 8 out of 95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it at the time of analysis. The domain was registered through an anonymous registrar, obscuring ownership details and complicating attribution efforts. As of the latest scan, no major blocklists have included this domain, though its recent creation date and lack of legitimate digital footprint strongly suggest malicious intent. The domain has since been taken offline, but similar variants may emerge.  Users who visited michigan.safety-payit.vip or entered any information on the site should take immediate action to secure their accounts. First, contact your financial institution to report potential fraud and request a card replacement if payment details were submitted. Next, change passwords for any accounts that may have been accessed from the same device or network. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Finally, scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software, as phishing sites often deploy additional payloads. Always verify the legitimacy of payment portals by cross-checking URLs on PhishDestroy or similar security databases before entering sensitive information.

## 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.
