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: 2025-10-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:49:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:00:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 11:17:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b5c-b952-757d-a58a-e5efab11e23c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e8c27026-1f72-4a20-8524-3b892141f061 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/firstcitiacc.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.firstcitiacc.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=firstcitiacc.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/firstcitiacc.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/firstcitiacc.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 05:05:57 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 First Citi Trust, a financial services entity. Analysis indicates the threat type is a fake login portal, likely intended to harvest credentials or facilitate unauthorized account access. The domain exhibits multiple indicators of malicious intent, including its recent creation and association with known phishing infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain firstcitiacc.com was registered on October 24, 2025, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. It currently resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7 and is detected by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The site employs technologies such as Tailwind CSS, LiteSpeed, Alpine.js, jsDelivr, and GetButton, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The page title, 'Home - First Citi Trust,' directly mimics the branding of the legitimate entity. Mitigation steps for this threat include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (163.61.188.7) at the network perimeter. Organizations should deploy indicators of compromise (IOCs) such as the domain, IP, and SSL certificate fingerprint in endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems. Users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window. Additionally, security teams should monitor for anomalous login attempts or unauthorized transactions linked to credentials potentially compromised through this phishing campaign. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-25B05E Favicon MD5: 04fd85a18231627d62b1c24f04e4aaf9 TLS cert SHA-256: 6011d4c89e3eb06c0cce4fcbc56f99726db3cd795f750a38359df46fba5d5f83 ## 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/firstcitiacc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firstcitiacc.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
