# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ontario.safedrivinggovau.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 13:29:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovau.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.166.232.20 (US, Ashburn) ASN: AS132203 Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue Hosting org: Aceville Pte.ltd Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["a12.share-dns.com", "b12.share-dns.net"] 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 00:31:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:01:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:48:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ontario.safedrivinggovau.cc, operates as a credential harvesting platform specifically designed to impersonate official Canadian driver licensing services. Analysis indicates the site employs social engineering tactics to deceive visitors into submitting personally identifiable information (PII), including driver license numbers, full names, addresses, and payment card details. The infrastructure mimics legitimate government portals by incorporating regional identifiers such as 'ontario' and 'safedrivinggov,' creating a false sense of authenticity to exploit trust in official institutions. The threat extends beyond immediate data theft, as collected credentials may facilitate identity fraud, financial fraud, or further targeted phishing attacks against affected individuals. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming malicious intent. The domain resolves to the IP address 43.166.232.20 and was registered on June 12, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with short-lived phishing domains. Detection metrics further substantiate the threat: 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, while it appears on two independent security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OISD. The domain's creation date, set in the future (2026), suggests an attempt to evade temporal-based detection mechanisms, a tactic commonly observed in coordinated phishing campaigns. Individuals who accessed ontario.safedrivinggovau.cc should immediately cease all interaction and initiate remediation protocols. Users who submitted credentials or payment information must revoke compromised data by contacting their financial institutions and relevant licensing authorities. Passwords associated with the affected email accounts should be updated, and multi-factor authentication enabled where available. Affected parties are advised to monitor credit reports and official communications for signs of identity misuse. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP (43.166.232.20) at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. Given the elevated risk level, organizations should conduct internal audits to identify any lateral movement or unauthorized access attempts originating from this campaign. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovau.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ontario.safedrivinggovau.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
