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

Fetched:   2026-07-22 06:16:03 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ontario.safedrivinggovbc.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 52/100 (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 detected:    2026-06-13 00:31:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:29 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:02:22 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

ontario.safedrivinggovbc.cc: Fake Government Portal Stealing

PhishDestroy has identified the domain ontario.safedrivinggovbc.cc as a phishing site designed to harvest driver license credentials and personal information by impersonating a Canadian provincial driving authority. The threat specifically mimics official government portals, luring users into entering sensitive details under the guise of license renewal or traffic violation resolution. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains offline, but its infrastructure may still pose risks if reactivated.  Analysis of the domain reveals critical indicators: VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, indicating the site had not yet been widely flagged at the time of investigation. The domain was registered through an undisclosed registrar, resolving to the IP address 185.165.123.78 (seed: 7f55cd). Created on October 5, 2023, it had no prior entries on major blocklists, and its trust scores across platforms like URLVoid and ScamAdviser were abnormally high, suggesting a deliberate attempt to evade detection. The lack of red flags in automated scans underscores the sophistication of this campaign, which likely targeted residents of Ontario or British Columbia.  At present, ontario.safedrivinggovbc.cc has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure. However, users who may have interacted with the site should assume their credentials were compromised and take proactive measures. PhishDestroy recommends verifying any unexpected communications from driving authorities through official channels, enabling multi-factor authentication on government portals, and reporting suspicious domains to platforms like PhishTank or Google Safe Browsing. Organizations should also monitor for unusual login attempts or data access patterns, as stolen credentials could be leveraged for identity theft or further phishing attacks.

## 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.
