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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      16/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-12
HTTP response:   502

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:42:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, phila.revenue-wa.cc, was identified as a credential theft operation impersonating the official Philadelphia municipal revenue portal. Analysis indicates the site was designed to harvest login credentials, payment details, and personal identification information from individuals attempting to access tax-related services. The fraudulent portal mimicked legitimate city government interfaces, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among residents and businesses seeking tax filings or payments.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, under an obscure registrar, with no legitimate association to Philadelphia government systems. At the time of assessment, the domain was flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate to high detection rates. Additionally, it appeared on two independent security blocklists, further corroborating its malicious intent. The domain has since been taken offline, though its prior activity suggests a targeted campaign against regional taxpayers.  Users who visited phila.revenue-wa.cc or entered credentials on the site should assume compromise of any submitted data. Immediate steps include resetting passwords for all accounts accessed from the same device or network, enabling multi-factor authentication where available, and monitoring financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Affected individuals should also report the incident to local cybersecurity authorities or the legitimate Philadelphia revenue service for further guidance. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential secondary infections or residual threats.

## 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.
