## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-12
HTTP response:   502

## 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:     2026-07-17 20:20:45 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:04:55 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

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

The domain phila.revenue-hf.cc is identified as a generic phishing site designed to impersonate a municipal tax or revenue portal. Analysis indicates the threat type is a fake login credential harvester, likely targeting users seeking tax payment or refund services. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though residual risks may persist through cached or mirrored instances.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, via an undisclosed registrar, a common tactic among threat actors to obscure ownership. Detection metrics show the domain is flagged by 11 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. No associated IP addresses were publicly disclosed in available threat feeds, though historical resolutions may exist in passive DNS datasets.  Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate exposure. However, users who interacted with the site should assume credential compromise and initiate password resets on any accounts accessed during the exposure window. Organizations are advised to monitor for phishing campaigns leveraging similar subdomain patterns (e.g., revenue-hf.cc) and implement domain-based blocking for newly registered lookalike domains. Security teams should prioritize retrospective log analysis to identify potential breaches linked to this infrastructure.

## 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.
