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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      15/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, 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.

## TIMELINE

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-15 16:20:46 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:01:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:42:46 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-wy.cc, is identified as a credential theft phishing site targeting users through impersonation of municipal revenue or tax-related services. Analysis indicates no direct association with cryptocurrency drainer kits or known brand spoofing campaigns, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential harvesting infrastructure. The threat actor likely leveraged social engineering tactics, such as fraudulent tax notices or payment reminders, to deceive victims into submitting sensitive login or financial details.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, though no registrar details are currently available for public disclosure. VirusTotal detection metrics show 15 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating moderate confidence in its classification as a phishing threat. The domain does not appear on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklists but is present on two independent security blocklists. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers have been publicly attributed to this domain at the time of analysis.  As of the latest assessment, phila.revenue-wy.cc has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by hosting providers or domain registrars. Despite its inactive status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the domain prior to its removal. Organizations are advised to monitor for indicators of compromise, including unauthorized access attempts or anomalous login activity, and to implement domain-based blocking rules for related subdomains or similar naming patterns. Users should verify the authenticity of any unsolicited tax or revenue-related communications through official channels.

## 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.
