# PhishDestroy threat dossier — phila.revenue-da.cc
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-23 08:35:16 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-da.cc/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 08:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:01:59 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

phila.revenue-da.cc Fake City Tax Portal Credential Theft Alert

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-da.cc as a credential theft domain specifically designed to mimic the official Philadelphia Revenue Department portal. This domain was flagged for harvesting municipal tax login credentials, a tactic commonly used to facilitate identity theft, tax fraud, and unauthorized access to city payment systems. No crypto drainer or payment skimmer scripts were detected, confirming the attack vector as classic credential phishing rather than wallet-draining malware.  Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered through an offshore registrar, masking ownership details behind privacy protection services. VirusTotal records show 4 out of 95 security vendors flagged phila.revenue-da.cc as malicious, with detection names including 'Phishing' and 'Suspicious Domain.' The domain resolved to a single IP address in a bulletproof hosting range, created on an unknown date but first observed in early 2024. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) never indexed the domain, and blocklist aggregators recorded zero prior listings, indicating a short-lived, targeted campaign with minimal prior exposure.  The domain has since been taken offline, likely following abuse complaints or registrar enforcement. While no active threat remains, the infrastructure may resurface under a new domain or IP. Users who entered credentials on phila.revenue-da.cc should immediately reset passwords on the legitimate Philadelphia Revenue portal and enable multi-factor authentication. Organizations should monitor for unauthorized tax filings or payment redirects, and security teams should update blocklists with the domain and associated IP to prevent future access attempts.

## 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.
