detran-espirito-santo-govbr-ipva[.]vercel[.]app

PhishDestroy identifies an active generic phishing campaign using the domain detran-espirito-santo-govbr-ipva.vercel.app, which impersonates Brazil’s Departamento Estadual de Trânsito do Espírito Santo (DETRAN-ES) IPVA payment portal. The threat does not employ a known drainer kit but relies on visual spoofing to trick users into submitting sensitive personal and financial information. The domain’s naming convention closely mirrors legitimate government portals, increasing the risk of successful deception among Portuguese-speaking users seeking to pay vehicle taxes. This domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.195 and was registered through Vercel Inc. As of the latest scan, it shows 0 detections on VirusTotal out of 95 engines, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus solutions. It utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may lend false legitimacy to users. The domain does not appear on known blocklists at this time, and its creation date is not publicly disclosed due to Vercel's privacy protections. The lack of detection and use of a reputable hosting provider (Vercel) and CA (Google Trust Services) suggests this campaign is actively evolving to evade defenses. This domain is currently active and poses a credible threat to individuals attempting to access DETRAN-ES IPVA services. PhishDestroy has flagged this domain with unique seed e6428b and continues to monitor its infrastructure for changes in hosting or certificate issuance. Users are strongly advised to verify the official DETRAN-ES website (detran.es.gov.br) before entering any personal or payment information. Do not click links in unsolicited emails or SMS messages claiming to be from DETRAN-ES. Block the domain at the network level and report any incidents to relevant cybersecurity authorities. While the immediate risk is classified as under investigation, the absence of detections and legitimate appearance warrant heightened caution and proactive blocking.
