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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos, 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-12 22:30:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:36:55 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-26 16:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 00:09:31 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

dmvca.gov-coee.cc - Phishing Domain Imitating DMV

The domain dmvca.gov-coee.cc, designed to mimic a legitimate DMV website, is a phishing operation that has been taken down. Despite its offline status, it has been identified by 9 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal as malicious. This indicates a significant level of threat recognition across various security platforms. Additionally, it is listed on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, which further underscores its malicious intent.

Phishing domains like dmvca.gov-coee.cc often exploit users' trust in government-related services, aiming to harvest sensitive information such as personal identification details and payment information. The use of a domain name that closely resembles an official DMV site is a common tactic to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate entity. This particular domain's creation date of June 12, 2026, suggests it was part of a planned campaign, possibly targeting specific events or deadlines related to DMV services.

The relatively high detection rate on VirusTotal, coupled with its inclusion on a public blocklist, highlights the effectiveness of collaborative threat intelligence efforts. Although the domain is currently offline, the rapid identification and response by security vendors and platforms like PhishDestroy demonstrate the importance of early detection and swift action in mitigating phishing threats. Users should remain cautious of similar domains that may appear, as threat actors often pivot to new domains once their operations are disrupted.

## 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.
