## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

phila.revenue-fh.cc Safety Check — City Tax Phishing Site

This domain, phila.revenue-fh.cc, is identified as a phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate official Philadelphia municipal revenue services. Analysis indicates the site operated as a fraudulent tax payment portal, targeting city residents with credential harvesting and financial fraud schemes. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity suggests it was actively used for malicious campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was created on June 12, 2026, and has been flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appears on one security blocklist and was previously blocked by enterprise-level threat detection systems. No registrar or hosting IP details are publicly disclosed, but the subdomain structure (phila.revenue-fh.cc) closely mimics legitimate municipal tax collection portals, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks. The domain's creation date suggests it was deployed with a short operational lifespan, a common tactic in phishing campaigns to evade detection.  Current status confirms the domain has been taken offline, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it prior to deactivation. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for unauthorized access to financial accounts or municipal service portals, particularly those associated with Philadelphia tax payments. Network administrators should add the domain to internal blocklists and conduct retrospective log analysis for connections to phila.revenue-fh.cc. Users who entered credentials on the site should immediately reset passwords for all associated accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Given the domain's elevated risk classification, continued vigilance is recommended even after takedown.

## 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.
