Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy confirms that companylegal.co.uk is actively hosting a fraudulent legal services scam aimed at deceiving users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate law firm. This domain masquerades as a professional legal entity to steal sensitive personal and financial information or distribute malware under the guise of legal documentation or consultations. Users who engage with this site risk falling victim to credential harvesting, invoice fraud, or identity theft, with threat actors leveraging the trust associated with legal services to increase the likelihood of successful exploitation. This domain was flagged by multiple security vendors, with 7 out of 95 VirusTotal scanners detecting malicious activity. It was registered through Gandi on March 23, 2017, and currently resides on 1 active security blocklist. Google Safe Browsing classifies this domain under 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING,' indicating a deliberate attempt to manipulate users into performing unsafe actions. The domain resolves to IP address 98.91.9.77 and has been blocked by InversionDNS, highlighting its confirmed malicious nature. If you have visited companylegal.co.uk, cease all interaction with the site immediately and avoid downloading any files or entering personal information. Run a full antivirus scan on your device to detect any potential malware. Report the domain to your IT security team or through official cybercrime reporting channels. Consider changing passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Always verify the legitimacy of legal service providers by cross-referencing official directories or contacting known, verified contact details. ## 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 (volunteer 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/companylegal.co.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=companylegal.co.uk 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
