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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      13/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, 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.

Is phila.revenue-dk.cc a Fake Tax Portal Scam?

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-dk.cc as an offline but previously active phishing domain posing as a municipal tax revenue portal. The site specifically targets users seeking tax payment or refund services, tricking victims into submitting sensitive credentials, banking details, or personal identification under false pretenses. While currently flagged as generic_phishing, the risk level remains under investigation due to its recent takedown and lack of prior detection.  This domain was first observed on May 15, 2024, registered through an offshore registrar with privacy protections enabled. At the time of analysis, VirusTotal reported 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating no prior flags despite its malicious intent. The domain resolved to a shared hosting IP (185.165.123.45) with no prior blocklist history, and trust scores from major threat intelligence platforms returned neutral or unknown results. No SSL certificate irregularities were detected, though the site used a free Let’s Encrypt certificate to appear legitimate.  Users who encountered phila.revenue-dk.cc should immediately revoke any entered credentials, especially login details for financial or government accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical services and monitor bank statements for unauthorized transactions. If tax-related information was submitted, report the incident to the IRS or local tax authority and file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be from tax agencies, and verify domain authenticity by manually typing official URLs into browsers.

## 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.
