================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-23 00:44:26 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovav.cc/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Chong Lua Dao, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, 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 09:01:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

ontario.safedrivinggovav.cc - Fake Government Site

The domain ontario.safedrivinggovav.cc masquerades as a legitimate government site, likely targeting users with phishing schemes. Despite its recent creation, it has already been flagged by 6 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. The domain is currently offline, reducing its immediate threat, but its existence highlights the ongoing risks of fake government sites.

This domain's strategy involves exploiting the trust users place in government-related URLs, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information. Its presence on a public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, underscores the need for awareness of such threats. The quick detection and subsequent takedown demonstrate effective monitoring and response to phishing activities.

Phishing domains like ontario.safedrivinggovav.cc often operate in a narrow window between registration and detection by antivirus databases. This domain's appearance in VirusTotal with multiple detections suggests it was active long enough to attract attention before being taken down. The rapid response highlights the importance of continuous vigilance and the role of threat intelligence in mitigating risks associated with phishing domains.

## 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.
