# PhishDestroy threat dossier — phila.revenue-zv.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-19 20:16:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-zv.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Phishing Database, SOCRadar, Sophos, 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-19 20:20:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:05:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 14:59:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] phila.revenue-zv.cc Fake Philadelphia Tax Portal Alert PhishDestroy identifies phila.revenue-zv.cc as an active phishing domain targeting taxpayers in Philadelphia. This domain mimics the official Philadelphia Revenue portal, presenting users with a fraudulent login page designed to harvest credentials for municipal tax accounts. The site may also attempt to collect sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers or tax identification details, under the guise of verifying user identity or processing refunds. The threat specifically exploits trust in local government services, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among residents seeking tax-related assistance. Investigation reveals that phila.revenue-zv.cc has not yet been flagged by security engines, with a VirusTotal detection score of 12/95. The domain was registered through an offshore registrar, obscuring ownership details, and its creation date suggests it was set up recently to evade long-term scrutiny. As of the latest check, the domain has been taken offline, but no blocklist entries exist yet, indicating it may reappear under a similar guise. The lack of prior detections underscores the stealthy nature of this campaign, which relies on short-lived domains to avoid detection. Users who visited phila.revenue-zv.cc should immediately change any passwords entered on the site, particularly for Philadelphia Revenue or other government accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an extra layer of security. Monitor financial statements and credit reports for signs of unauthorized activity, as stolen credentials may be used for identity theft or fraudulent tax filings. Report the incident to the Philadelphia Revenue Department and PhishDestroy to aid in tracking and mitigating this threat. Avoid clicking on links in unsolicited emails or messages, and always verify the legitimacy of tax-related portals by accessing them directly through official government websites. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phila.revenue-zv.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phila.revenue-zv.cc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
