TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2018-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-22 14:54:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-22 12:55:11 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 00:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-22 18:17:29 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 22:59:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pay.bi, once operational, was designed to mimic USDT payment services, as suggested by its page title. Detected by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026, the domain had not yet appeared in any antivirus feeds, demonstrating the early detection capabilities of PhishDestroy's systems. It was hosted on an Amazon server in the US, with SSL certification from Let's Encrypt.

Despite having no VirusTotal detections, pay.bi was flagged on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's. This highlights the domain's potential threat, exploiting the typical 24-72 hour gap between domain registration and antivirus database updates. This period is often leveraged by malicious actors to conduct phishing activities before detection systems can respond.

The domain's status is currently offline, reducing its immediate threat. However, its use of a US-based IP and reputable hosting provider like Amazon indicates a level of sophistication in its setup. The platform risk score of 48/100 suggests moderate concern, warranting continued vigilance and awareness of similar phishing tactics.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-1AE8FF
Favicon MD5:       ddff3c1dc9068bba8c0c970cd03674d0

## 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 (volunteer 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.
