Fetched:   2026-07-23 00:43:02 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovab.cc/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      14/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, PrecisionSec, 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 00:20:45 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:02:10 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is ontario.safedrivinggovab.cc a Fake Driver’s License Phishing

PhishDestroy identifies ontario.safedrivinggovab.cc as a fraudulent credential-harvesting portal masquerading as an official Ontario driver’s licensing service. The site was engineered to mimic provincial transportation agency branding, specifically targeting residents applying for or renewing driver’s licenses. No drainer kit signatures were observed, but the domain employed static form fields designed to exfiltrate personally identifiable information (PII) and payment card details under the guise of processing fees.  Technical indicators reveal the domain was registered through an offshore registrar, resolving to the IP address 185.165.119.142 with a creation timestamp of 2024-05-10T08:43:22Z. VirusTotal analysis returned a detection score of 14 out of 95 security vendors, while Google Safe Browsing (GSB) classified the site as malicious. Blocklist aggregators recorded 7 active entries across threat intelligence platforms, confirming its phishing classification.  As of the latest scan, ontario.safedrivinggovab.cc has been taken offline, likely following automated takedown requests or registrar intervention. While the immediate threat is neutralized, residual risk persists for users who may have submitted credentials prior to deactivation. Affected individuals are advised to reset passwords, monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions, and report the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC). Users should verify all government communications through official .gc.ca domains and enable multi-factor authentication on sensitive accounts.

## 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.
