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

Fetched:   2026-07-21 22:08:27 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-nt.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, 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

phila.revenue-nt.cc — Fake Tax Portal Phishing Investigation

PhishDestroy has identified phila.revenue-nt.cc as a deceptive website designed to mimic official Philadelphia city revenue portals. This fake tax portal prompts visitors to enter sensitive login credentials, Social Security numbers, or payment details under the guise of processing tax returns or refunds. The site is part of a phishing campaign targeting local residents, particularly during tax season, with the goal of harvesting personal and financial information for identity theft or fraudulent transactions.  This domain was flagged after PhishDestroy’s automated systems detected suspicious patterns, despite currently showing 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal. The domain was registered recently through an offshore registrar, a common tactic used by attackers to evade takedowns. Its structure, including the subdomain 'phila' and the misleading 'revenue-nt' segment, is carefully crafted to appear legitimate to unsuspecting users searching for city tax services.  If you visited phila.revenue-nt.cc or entered any information on the site, take immediate action to secure your accounts. First, change passwords for any accounts accessed on the site, especially those tied to financial services or government portals. Enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions, and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus. Report the incident to the Philadelphia Revenue Department and the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Always verify the legitimacy of tax-related websites by cross-checking URLs with official city or government sources before submitting sensitive data.

## 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.
