austincountyonline.icu Generic Phishing Site

The domain austincountyonline.icu is currently active and returns an HTTP 403 status code when accessed. The site presents a page titled "Just a moment…", which provides no further content. TLS negotiation succeeds using a Google Trust Services / WE1 certificate, indicating a legitimate certificate authority but not confirming the legitimacy of the site. DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. and geolocated to Canada. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and uses the Cloudflare authoritative nameservers cris.ns.cloudflare.com and jamie.ns.cloudflare.com. Reputation data shows the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been flagged by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis reports five of ninety‑one scanners labeling the domain as malicious. The limited publicly available information does not reveal the specific brand or service being spoofed, nor the exact payload delivered to victims. Analysts should continue to monitor the domain, enforce blocklist rules, and consider sinkholing the associated IP address. Network defenders are advised to update intrusion detection signatures to include the observed TLS fingerprint and DNS characteristics, and to block outbound connections to the IP 188.114.97.3 for users who do not require Cloudflare services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      d11bebc2f8a41f0b5f835bdbec52cda55b9634634777fffa2e73ee2e60198d35

## 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.
