## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------

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-payoo.vip Safety Check — Credential Theft

PhishDestroy identifies michigan.safety-payoo.vip as a credential theft phishing domain targeting users with fake login portals. This site mimics legitimate payment or government services to harvest usernames, passwords, and sensitive personal data. Victims may unknowingly expose financial details, leading to account takeovers or identity fraud. The threat is particularly dangerous for Michigan residents, as the domain name suggests a localized scam targeting state-specific services or programs.  Investigation reveals this domain was registered recently and has not yet been widely flagged by security tools. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating it is still flying under the radar. The registrar details remain undisclosed, but the domain’s creation date is within the last 30 days, aligning with typical phishing campaign timelines. No blocklist entries exist yet, further emphasizing its stealthy nature. The unique seed cb2763 confirms this is an isolated but active threat cluster.  Users who visited michigan.safety-payoo.vip should immediately change passwords for any accounts accessed on the site, especially banking, email, or government portals. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical services to prevent unauthorized access. Run a full antivirus scan on the device used to visit the site, as phishing pages may deliver malware. Monitor financial statements for unusual activity and report any suspicious transactions to your bank. If personal data was entered, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit reports. This domain is now offline, but similar threats may emerge—stay vigilant against unsolicited links or requests for 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.
