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

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.

phila.revenue-ww.cc: Fake City Tax Portal Steals Login

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-ww.cc as a deceptive website impersonating the official Philadelphia city revenue portal. This fake site was designed to trick visitors into entering sensitive login credentials, which attackers could then use to access real tax accounts, file fraudulent returns, or steal refunds. The domain mimics legitimate city services with a convincing layout and official-looking forms, making it particularly dangerous for residents expecting tax-related communications.  This domain was flagged despite showing 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating it was newly created or carefully crafted to evade detection. The site was registered through an obscure registrar and hosted on servers known for harboring phishing operations. Its creation date aligns with typical tax season phishing campaigns, suggesting it was launched specifically to exploit taxpayers during peak filing periods.  If you visited phila.revenue-ww.cc and entered any personal information, take immediate action. First, change the passwords for your Philadelphia tax account and any other services where you reused credentials. Contact the real Philadelphia Revenue Department to report potential fraud and monitor your account for unauthorized activity. Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Finally, run a full antivirus scan on your device to check for malware that may have been installed during your visit.

## 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.
