# PhishDestroy threat dossier — firstnationalfinance.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 08:45:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/firstnationalfinance.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.88.188 (US, Cheyenne) ASN: ASAS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ["ns7.asurahosting.com", "ns8.asurahosting.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Home - First National Finance ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-05-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 863edb66e681e882730c6b2032e6b4981a6a5d6b9c9463833a80deaca0e3851f ## 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 15:35:35 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-28 08:21:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 00:05:18 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/019c7687-900d-7058-bdfa-fcfeedce3ce9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/98a122d3-6e97-4993-aacc-bc119b1c4183 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/firstnationalfinance.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.firstnationalfinance.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=firstnationalfinance.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/firstnationalfinance.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/firstnationalfinance.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-25 02:29:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] firstnationalfinance.org – Brand Impersonation Detected On July 25, 2026, the domain firstnationalfinance.org was observed as offline. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Dynadot LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.88.188, which is announced by AS53667 (FranTech Solutions) and geolocated in the United States. Authoritative name servers are ns7.asurahosting.com and ns8.asurahosting.com. The site presented the page title “Home – First National Finance”, indicating an attempt to impersonate the financial institution First National Finance. The scam type is classified as brand impersonation. Technical fingerprinting shows the web server runs LiteSpeed and delivers content over HTTP/3. Front‑end assets reference Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, jsDelivr, and the live‑chat widget Smartsupp. The TLS certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), confirming the use of a free, automated certificate. Threat intelligence scans recorded 14 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. The risk rating is elevated, reflecting the combination of brand impersonation, low trust score, and vendor detections. Because the site is currently offline, active exploitation cannot be confirmed, but the infrastructure and detection profile suggest it was intended for credential harvesting or fraudulent financial communications. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address and name servers, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Additional investigation of any observed traffic to the IP address or to the Smartsupp script endpoint may reveal compromised hosts. Organizations that use the First National Finance brand should issue user awareness advisories referencing the exact page title and encourage verification of TLS certificates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260219-0F64B0 TLS cert SHA-256: 863edb66e681e882730c6b2032e6b4981a6a5d6b9c9463833a80deaca0e3851f ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/firstnationalfinance.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firstnationalfinance.org 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
