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: 2026-06-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:33:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 21:37:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 07:45:52 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1997-0ed1-7168-add1-fbec2b31f5ec/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b9d4d99c-1713-4856-8fb5-40da7e36e2f0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bancocentrallc.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bancocentrallc.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bancocentrallc.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bancocentrallc.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bancocentrallc.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 19:35:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing site specifically designed to impersonate Banco Central LC, a financial institution. Analysis indicates the site is actively harvesting login credentials, payment details, and other sensitive information from unsuspecting users under the guise of legitimate banking operations. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with a focus on financial fraud, targeting both individual and corporate victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain bancocentrallc.com was registered on June 29, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It currently resolves to the IP address 217.196.54.185 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to create a false sense of security. The page title displayed is 'Banco Central LC,' reinforcing the impersonation attempt. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating early but growing recognition of its fraudulent nature. No blocklist entries or trust score improvements were observed at the time of assessment, suggesting the domain remains operational and undetected by broader security mechanisms. Mitigation steps for this threat include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (217.196.54.185) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to flag or quarantine any attempts to access bancocentrallc.com. Users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to reset credentials for any financial or personal accounts accessed during the exposure window. Financial institutions should monitor for unusual login attempts or transactions originating from this domain and issue alerts to customers about the ongoing phishing campaign. Network administrators are advised to review logs for connections to 217.196.54.185 and investigate any associated lateral movement or data exfiltration attempts.

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/bancocentrallc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bancocentrallc.com 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.
