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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, 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 00:30:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 20:20:29 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:00:54 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

phila.revenue-cg.cc — Credential Harvesting Phishing Report

This domain, phila.revenue-cg.cc, is flagged as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting municipal or revenue-related services. Analysis indicates an elevated risk level due to its specific focus on impersonating official financial or government portals, a common tactic in targeted phishing campaigns. The domain was operational for a limited period before being taken offline, suggesting either a short-lived campaign or rapid detection and mitigation by security infrastructure.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar. At the time of assessment, the domain was detected by 5 out of 95 security engines on a multi-scanner platform, indicating moderate but non-negligible malicious activity. It appeared on at least one security blocklist, further corroborating its classification as a phishing threat. No associated IP addresses were publicly attributed to the domain at the time of analysis, though historical DNS records may provide additional context. The domain's creation date aligns with patterns observed in ephemeral phishing campaigns, where domains are rapidly deployed and discarded to evade detection.  Mitigation steps for this type of threat include implementing domain-based blocking at the network perimeter, particularly for subdomains impersonating revenue or municipal services. Organizations should enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all financial and administrative portals to mitigate the impact of credential theft. End-user training should emphasize the risks of entering credentials on unfamiliar domains, especially those mimicking official tax, revenue, or government sites. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar domain registrations using the 'revenue-cg' pattern and proactively assess newly registered domains with similar naming conventions.

## 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.
