Registered:      2026-06-12
HTTP response:   502

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-07 21:49:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain michigan.safety-payue.vip is identified as a generic phishing site, specifically one that employs a fake login mechanism to deceive users. There is no indication of a specific brand impersonation or the use of a crypto drainer kit. The primary threat is the potential for credential theft, which could lead to further compromise of user accounts and personal data.

Analysis indicates that the domain has a VirusTotal detection score of 14/95, suggesting a moderate level of consensus among security vendors regarding its malicious nature. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, and is currently listed on one security blocklist. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is associated with the registrar and has no active IP address. The domain is also marked as taken offline, and its status on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) is unknown, but it is blocked by PhishDestroy.

The current status of michigan.safety-payue.vip is offline, which reduces the immediate risk to users. However, the domain has been flagged and taken offline, indicating that it was actively used for phishing in the past. Users are advised to avoid any links or communications that direct them to this domain. Security teams should continue to monitor the domain for any signs of reactivation and ensure that it remains blocked in their network defenses. The elevated risk level suggests that while the domain is currently inactive, it poses a significant threat if it becomes active again.

## 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.
