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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      14/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

phila.revenue-kd.cc Fake Philadelphia Revenue Credential Theft

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-kd.cc as an active credential theft campaign targeting users of the Philadelphia Revenue Department. This domain was flagged for impersonating official tax and municipal payment portals, a tactic commonly used to harvest login credentials, payment details, and sensitive personal information. While currently offline, the domain’s infrastructure remains a latent threat until fully dismantled.  Technical analysis reveals the following indicators: VirusTotal detection ratio stands at 14/95, indicating no antivirus engines flagged the domain at the time of submission. The domain was registered through an anonymized registrar, obscuring ownership details, and was hosted on a shared IP address with no prior reputation for malicious activity. Creation date analysis suggests the domain was recently spun up, likely for short-term use in a targeted phishing operation. No blocklist entries were recorded, and trust scores from threat intelligence platforms remained neutral, reflecting its low detection footprint.  Users who may have interacted with phila.revenue-kd.cc should immediately change any credentials entered on the site, especially those linked to government services, banking, or email accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to mitigate unauthorized access. Organizations and individuals are advised to report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Email filters should be updated to block messages containing the domain or similar variations, and employees should be briefed on recognizing brand impersonation tactics in tax-related communications.

## 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.
