# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgact.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 16:49:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgact.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Namemart Limited Nameservers: ["chase.ns.cloudflare.com", "susan.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgact.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c583c046294260bb407432c4010e9714f0048c9c208f885dbadbf6f5809ece3c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgact.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 detected: 2026-06-12 22:30:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) 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: 2026-06-25 22:02:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain hcdistrictclerk.lgact.vip has been identified as a credential theft operation designed to impersonate official government portals, specifically targeting district clerk services. Analysis indicates the site was actively harvesting login credentials from unsuspecting users under the guise of a legitimate public service platform. The domain is currently offline, though its prior activity and infrastructure warrant continued monitoring. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Namemart Limited on June 12, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate domain squatting or delayed activation tactics. It resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is associated with content delivery networks commonly exploited for phishing campaigns. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, a legitimate provider often abused to lend false credibility to malicious sites. Detection metrics show the domain was flagged by 10 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while appearing on a single security blocklist. The low blocklist count suggests either early-stage detection or limited visibility in threat intelligence feeds. Current risk assessment classifies this domain as elevated due to its targeted impersonation of government services, which increases the likelihood of successful credential compromise. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for related indicators of compromise, including the IP address 188.114.96.3. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Domain registrars and hosting providers are encouraged to review future-dated registrations for potential abuse patterns. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c583c046294260bb407432c4010e9714f0048c9c208f885dbadbf6f5809ece3c ## 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/hcdistrictclerk.lgact.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgact.vip 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.
