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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      7/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, 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-payoc.vip: Phishing Domain Identified

The domain michigan.safety-payoc.vip has been identified as a generic phishing site, currently offline. It was found to impersonate legitimate brands to deceive users, a common tactic in phishing scams. This domain was taken offline as of the latest report, reducing its immediate threat but emphasizing the need for continued vigilance against similar threats.

Technical analysis reveals that michigan.safety-payoc.vip was created on June 12, 2026. It has been flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of detection across security platforms. The domain was registered with an unknown registrar and appears on one security blocklist, which confirms its malicious intent. Additionally, the domain was blocked by PhishDestroy, further corroborating its fraudulent nature.

The current status of the domain is offline, minimizing its immediate risk. However, users are advised to remain cautious and employ best practices such as verifying URLs, using comprehensive security solutions, and avoiding clicking on suspicious links. Organizations should ensure their security systems are updated to block similar threats and educate users about recognizing phishing attempts. Regular monitoring of security blocklists and maintaining up-to-date threat intelligence feeds are recommended to mitigate future risks.

## 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.
