  - lgaci.vip

## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-16 16:20:47 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 13:02:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 15:05:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, hcdistrictclerk.lgaci.vip, is identified as a generic phishing site designed to harvest user credentials through government-themed impersonation. Analysis indicates the domain mimics official district clerk services, likely targeting individuals seeking public records or legal documentation. No specific drainer kit signatures were detected, but the infrastructure aligns with broad credential theft campaigns observed in similar phishing operations.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to other phishing infrastructure. VirusTotal detections show 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to phishing sites. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by enterprise-level threat intelligence feeds.  As of the latest verification, hcdistrictclerk.lgaci.vip has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the domain remains registered, and the infrastructure could be reactivated or repurposed for future campaigns. Organizations are advised to monitor for related indicators, including the IP address and registrar details, and update blocklists accordingly. Users who may have interacted with the domain should reset credentials and enable multi-factor authentication on affected accounts to mitigate residual risk.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da
TLS cert SHA-256:      be8bf71276f6440b08bbb6da83c6d1e2822b8361e1977500db3d93a349908b1d

## 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.
