# PhishDestroy threat dossier — firstcityglobaltrusts.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 11:01:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/firstcityglobaltrusts.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Government Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 209.222.98.191 (US, Piscataway) ASN: ASAS23470 ReliableSite.Net LLC Hosting org: AS23470 ReliableSite.Net LLC Registrar: Go Daddy, LLC Nameservers: ns325.edns1.com, ns326.edns1.com, ns397.edns1.com, ns398.edns1.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Home - First City Global Trust HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-19 06:21:59 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:50:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c7489-01f1-73d5-8da2-e60daed9d77a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/081b3e41-3461-4919-960d-358504630752 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/firstcityglobaltrusts.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.firstcityglobaltrusts.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=firstcityglobaltrusts.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/firstcityglobaltrusts.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/firstcityglobaltrusts.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:13:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified firstcityglobaltrusts.online as a high-risk generic phishing domain. The site presented itself under the page title "Home - First City Global Trust," aiming to deceive users by impersonating a financial service entity. Given its classification, this domain is considered dangerous for users seeking legitimate financial information. Technical analysis reveals that firstcityglobaltrusts.online was registered through Go Daddy, LLC on February 21, 2026. The domain resolved to the IP address 209.222.98.191 and was flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It also appeared on one security blocklist and was noted in a threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. These indicators highlight its use in malicious campaigns designed to phish credentials or deliver fraudulent content. Currently, the domain is offline, which limits further exposure to potential victims. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance for similar newly registered domains and monitoring related infrastructure for emerging threats. The takedown of firstcityglobaltrusts.online marks a positive step toward reducing phishing risks linked to this threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260219-58FA1F Favicon SHA-256: 13e29a29baade86f4e7a88d8e076d6a6f3ac8950757b50a0f8bbea1c33658d5c ## 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/firstcityglobaltrusts.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firstcityglobaltrusts.online 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.
