## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

firstguarantybank.xyz: Fake Google Tech Support Scam Domain

Analysis of firstguarantybank.xyz indicates a brand impersonation domain targeting Google, classified as a tech support scam. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline as of July 24, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP address 192.3.190.186, hosted on AS36352 (HostPapa) in the United States. The SSL certificate is identified as R11, though specific certificate details are not provided in available intelligence.

The page title 'Welcome to | First Guaranty Bank' does not align with the reported brand target (Google), suggesting either a misconfiguration or an attempt to mislead victims under a false financial institution pretext. Detection data shows the domain was flagged by 7 of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. Trust scores from Scamadviser (16/100) and Gridinsoft (0/100) further indicate malicious intent. While the domain is currently inactive, defenders should treat it as a confirmed threat.

Recommended actions include blocking the domain and associated IP (192.3.190.186) at perimeter security controls, monitoring for related infrastructure reuse, and alerting users to tech support scam tactics. The discrepancy between the page title and reported brand target warrants further investigation to determine the exact phishing kit or campaign in use. No additional evidence of payload delivery or victim interaction is available at this time.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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 (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.
