Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-lz.cc/

## 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, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
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:     2026-07-23 04:20:33 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:02:06 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

phila.revenue-lz.cc: Credential Theft Scam Targeting Taxpayers

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-lz.cc as a credential theft operation impersonating the City of Philadelphia’s revenue portal. The site was designed to harvest taxpayer login credentials, likely to facilitate fraudulent tax filings or identity theft. No crypto drainer kit signatures were detected, but the domain’s structure and content closely mirror official municipal tax collection pages, increasing its deceptive effectiveness.  Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this domain. VirusTotal shows 14 out of 95 security vendors flagged phila.revenue-lz.cc as malicious. The domain was registered through an offshore registrar, masking ownership details, and resolved to a bulletproof hosting IP in Eastern Europe. Created just three weeks prior to detection, it evaded Google Safe Browsing (GSB) for several days before being added to blocklists. At least six independent threat intelligence feeds now list it as active phishing infrastructure.  The domain has since been taken offline, likely due to rapid detection and reporting by security researchers and hosting providers. While no longer accessible, cached versions may still circulate in phishing kits or be reused under new domains. Users who entered credentials on phila.revenue-lz.cc should immediately change passwords on all related accounts, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized activity. Taxpayers in Philadelphia are advised to verify URLs directly through the official city website before submitting sensitive information.

## 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.
