# PhishDestroy threat dossier — phila.revenue-ts.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-23 05:23:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-ts.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 170.106.51.191 Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited Nameservers: ["ns7.alidns.com", "ns8.alidns.com"] 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 detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 03:15:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 10:09:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified phila.revenue-ts.cc as a recently active phishing domain designed to impersonate the official Philadelphia Revenue portal. This domain was flagged for hosting a fraudulent login interface targeting taxpayers, likely harvesting credentials for financial fraud or identity theft. No crypto drainer scripts or wallet-stealing kits were detected in preliminary scans, suggesting a focus on traditional credential phishing rather than cryptocurrency theft. The domain mimics the branding and URL structure of legitimate municipal tax services, increasing its deceptive potential for unsuspecting users seeking to file or pay local taxes. Technical indicators reveal that phila.revenue-ts.cc currently resolves to the IP address 170.106.51.191, hosted on infrastructure with a history of abuse. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged by antivirus or threat intelligence platforms. The registrar remains undisclosed in public records, but passive DNS analysis suggests the domain was registered within the last 30 days. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not listed the domain as of the latest scan, and no blocklist entries were found across major threat feeds. The lack of prior detections underscores the domain's novelty and the challenges of preemptive detection in phishing campaigns. As of the latest verification, phila.revenue-ts.cc has been taken offline, likely due to rapid takedown efforts by hosting providers or domain registrars following PhishDestroy's alert. However, the risk of reemergence remains, as threat actors frequently rehost phishing kits on new domains or IPs. Users who may have interacted with the site are advised to change their Philadelphia Revenue portal credentials immediately and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all financial and government accounts. Organizations should monitor for signs of credential reuse or unauthorized access. To stay protected, taxpayers should always verify the authenticity of tax-related websites by cross-referencing URLs with official city or state government domains and consulting threat intelligence platforms like PhishDestroy for real-time alerts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - 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 (volunteer 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-ts.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phila.revenue-ts.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
