Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-xr.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 53/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      7/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: CRDF, 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 00:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 03:15:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:43:02 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-xr.cc, is engineered to execute credential theft by impersonating municipal or state revenue service portals. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials through deceptive tax-related forms, likely targeting individuals or businesses under the guise of official tax correspondence. The domain employs social engineering tactics, including urgent language and spoofed branding, to coerce victims into submitting sensitive authentication details.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 170.106.51.191 and is flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appears on 2 distinct security blocklists, including entries from enterprise-grade threat intelligence feeds. Registered through Dominet (HK) Limited, the domain was created on June 12, 2026, suggesting a short-lived operational window typical of phishing campaigns. The registrar’s jurisdiction and the domain’s recent creation align with patterns observed in credential harvesting operations.  Users who accessed phila.revenue-xr.cc should immediately invalidate any credentials entered on the site, particularly those associated with tax or financial accounts. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions or configuration changes, such as email forwarding rules or password resets. If browser sessions were active during the visit, clear cached data and revoke any saved passwords. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or endpoint detection rules, should be updated to block the domain and its resolving IP. Report the incident to internal security teams or relevant authorities to support broader mitigation efforts.

## 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.
