## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## 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 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.

## TIMELINE

phila.revenue-zp.cc — Fake IRS Tax Refund Phishing Site Report

PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-zp.cc as a recently discovered phishing domain specifically targeting U.S. taxpayers with fraudulent IRS tax refund schemes. The site mimics official Internal Revenue Service portals, attempting to harvest login credentials, Social Security numbers, and financial details through deceptive refund claim forms. No known association with drainer kits or cryptocurrency theft has been observed, suggesting a focus on traditional identity theft and tax fraud.  Technical analysis reveals this domain was registered through an offshore registrar with privacy protection enabled. VirusTotal shows zero detections out of 95 security engines, indicating the site has not yet been widely flagged. The domain resolves to a shared hosting IP address with no prior malicious history, and Google Safe Browsing currently lists it as clean. Creation date analysis places the domain's activation within the last 30 days, aligning with typical tax season phishing campaigns. No blocklist entries exist at the time of investigation, though this may change as awareness grows.  The domain has been taken offline following initial detection, likely due to hosting provider intervention after abuse reports. While no longer accessible, the infrastructure may resurface under different domains or IPs. Users who visited this site should monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider placing fraud alerts with credit bureaus. Organizations should update web filters to block the domain and its known IP associations. Despite the current offline status, the risk of similar campaigns persists, particularly during tax filing periods, necessitating continued vigilance and proactive security measures.

## 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.
