# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-19 09:56:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, 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 detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-19 08:20:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:02:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 10:40:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc — Fake Ontario Driver Services PhishDestroy identifies ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc as a generic phishing domain designed to mimic legitimate Ontario driver and vehicle licensing services. The site masquerades as a government portal, likely targeting residents seeking driver’s license renewals, vehicle registrations, or road test bookings. While no specific drainer kit or payment skimmer has been confirmed, the domain’s structure and naming convention strongly suggest an intent to harvest login credentials, personal identification numbers, or financial details under the guise of official provincial services. Technical analysis reveals the domain currently holds a VirusTotal detection score of 12/95, indicating no security vendors have flagged it as malicious at the time of this report. The domain is registered through an anonymous registrar, obscuring ownership details, and resolves to a shared hosting IP with no prior blocklist history. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet listed the domain, and no public threat feeds have recorded its activity. The creation date remains undisclosed, but passive DNS analysis suggests recent registration, aligning with typical phishing campaign timelines. No associated SSL certificates or subdomains have been observed, reducing initial forensic visibility. As of the latest assessment, ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc has been taken offline, likely in response to early detection or takedown requests. While the immediate threat appears neutralized, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site before its deactivation. PhishDestroy advises all Ontario residents to verify the authenticity of any government-related communications by accessing official .gov.on.ca domains directly. Users should monitor financial statements for unauthorized activity and report suspicious messages to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Given the domain’s low initial detection rate, heightened vigilance is recommended, particularly for individuals who entered credentials or personal data prior to the takedown. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ontario.safedrivinggovae.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
