================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 07:31:53 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-jl.cc/

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

## 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:     2026-07-22 08:20:31 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:01:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

phila.revenue-jl.cc: Confirmed Fake Tax Portal Impersonation Site

This domain, phila.revenue-jl.cc, is flagged as a confirmed phishing site specializing in fake tax portal impersonation. Analysis indicates the site mimics municipal revenue services to harvest taxpayer credentials and financial data, classified under generic phishing with an elevated risk level due to its targeted nature and potential for direct financial compromise. The campaign appears designed to exploit individuals seeking tax-related services, increasing the likelihood of successful credential theft or malware delivery.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through a Chinese-based registrar, though no specific IP address has been attributed to the campaign. Detection metrics show 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appears on one security blocklist. The domain was subsequently taken offline, though its prior activity and registration details suggest a deliberate, short-lived operation. The unique seed identifier 0b95ca has been assigned to this campaign for tracking purposes, and the domain was blocked by at least one known anti-phishing system.  To mitigate risks associated with this threat type, organizations and individuals should implement multi-factor authentication for all financial and tax-related accounts to prevent unauthorized access. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or web gateway restrictions, should be enforced to block known phishing domains, including this one. Users should verify the legitimacy of tax portals by cross-referencing official government URLs and avoiding links from unsolicited communications. If credentials were entered on this site, immediate password resets and account monitoring for suspicious activity are recommended.

## 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.
