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

Fetched:   2026-07-19 20:15:27 UTC

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, 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.

## 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:     2026-07-19 20:20:29 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:04:59 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

phila.revenue-kc.cc — Credential Theft Investigation Report

PhishDestroy assesses phila.revenue-kc.cc as under investigation with a high likelihood of being used for credential theft phishing. This domain mimics legitimate revenue or taxation services to trick users into submitting sensitive login credentials. The threat type is specifically credential theft, targeting individuals who may expect official correspondence from a government or financial entity.

The domain is currently offline, which reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the possibility of reactivation. VirusTotal reports 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating it has not yet been widely categorized as malicious. The unique seed 8f57d9 ties this investigation to a specific campaign. Additional technical indicators such as registrar information, IP address, domain creation date, and blocklist status are not provided in the known intelligence, but the absence of vendor detections suggests the domain may have been newly registered or deliberately kept under the radar. No trust scores are available from the supplied data.

To protect against credential theft, users should never enter passwords or personal information on sites accessed via unsolicited links, especially those with unusual subdomains or domains like phila.revenue-kc.cc. Organizations should implement email filtering to block domains under investigation, enable multi-factor authentication to mitigate stolen credentials, and educate employees to verify the legitimacy of any request for login details. Security teams should monitor for similar domain variations and report any observed activity to relevant threat intelligence platforms.

  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-06-12
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed

## 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.
