## Summary
eligibility-usduc.com is a recently activated domain engineered for student loan scams under the guise of eligibility verification. PhishDestroy’s investigation classifies this site as a generic phishing endpoint designed to harvest personally identifiable information including names, Social Security numbers, and financial credentials. The domain leverages urgency tactics such as “limited-time forgiveness offers” to manipulate users into disclosing sensitive data that can be monetized or used for identity theft. This campaign specifically targets borrowers awaiting federal student debt relief announcements, exploiting trust in official .gov channels.

This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal engines as of seed 0781ef, indicating no current AV coverage despite active campaigns. It resolves to IP 172.67.193.47, a Cloudflare edge node commonly abused by fraudulent portals. Registered on July 19, 2025 through MAT BAO CORPORATION, the domain obtained an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which is often used to lend false legitimacy. The site remains unlisted on major blocklists at this stage, allowing continued operation with minimal interference.

Users should immediately avoid accessing eligibility-usduc.com and verify any student aid communications through official channels such as StudentAid.gov. If credentials or personal data were entered, change passwords immediately, enable two-factor authentication on financial accounts, and file an identity theft report with FTC at IdentityTheft.gov. Report this domain to your email provider and local cybercrime units to help disrupt the campaign while monitoring credit reports for suspicious activity.
