Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/michigan.us-paykx.my/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 14:59:48 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.us-paykx.my is identified as a generic phishing site, specifically a fake login page. This domain does not appear to be associated with any particular brand or organization but is designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and financial details. The infrastructure and technical indicators suggest a high level of threat sophistication.

Analysis indicates that michigan.us-paykx.my has been flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a significant detection rate that suggests a high likelihood of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, and currently appears on one security blocklist, including PhishDestroy. The registrar information and associated IP addresses are not publicly disclosed, which is a common tactic used by threat actors to obscure their identity and reduce the risk of takedown. The Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status for this domain is not available, but the presence on blocklists and the high detection rate by security vendors are strong indicators of its malicious nature.

The domain is currently offline, which may indicate that it has been taken down by authorities or the hosting provider. However, the offline status does not eliminate the remaining risk, as phishing sites can be quickly reactivated or moved to new domains. Organizations and individuals should remain vigilant and ensure that any links or emails related to this domain are treated with caution. Network administrators are advised to update their blocklists and ensure that security measures are in place to prevent access to similar domains. User education on recognizing phishing attempts and reporting suspicious activity is also crucial in mitigating the risk.

## 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.
