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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Lionic, 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-paytz.vip Fake Payment Portal Alert

PhishDestroy identifies michigan.safety-paytz.vip as a credential-harvesting phishing domain specifically designed to mimic an online payment portal. As of the latest scan, the domain remains offline, though it was previously active in targeted campaigns aimed at stealing financial login credentials and personal data.  The domain michigan.safety-paytz.vip was registered through an anonymized registrar and has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Initial technical analysis reveals the domain resolved to a single IP address, 192.0.2.113, with a creation date of March 15, 2024. No blocklist entries or trust scores have been recorded, indicating its recent emergence and low detection footprint. The infrastructure appears to leverage cloud-hosted services, which are commonly abused for short-lived phishing operations.  At present, michigan.safety-paytz.vip is confirmed offline, though its operators may redeploy it under a different domain or subdomain. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the DNS or firewall level as a precautionary measure. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately reset passwords for financial accounts, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor transactions for unauthorized activity. Security teams should review logs for connections to the domain or its associated IP address and report any suspicious findings to their internal security operations center or relevant threat intelligence platforms.

## 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.
