## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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 22:30:36 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 22:02:18 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.lgbad.vip, operates as a credential-harvesting phishing portal impersonating a county clerk’s office. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive login credentials, likely targeting municipal employees or residents interacting with local government services. The domain employs social engineering tactics, including cloned web interfaces and urgent messaging, to exploit trust in official institutions, increasing the likelihood of successful compromise.  Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting its malicious classification. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with phishing campaigns. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is currently flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with one active blocklist entry. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, provides a false sense of legitimacy, a common tactic in phishing operations to evade user suspicion.  Users who visited hcdistrictclerk.lgbad.vip should assume their credentials were compromised. Immediate actions include resetting passwords for any accounts entered on the site, enabling multi-factor authentication where available, and monitoring financial or government service accounts for unauthorized activity. System administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP at the network level. If browser sessions were active during the visit, clearing cached data and running a full antivirus scan is recommended to mitigate potential secondary infections or persistent threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f6c4ad046a1ebe8d471680a2e7a6cdce379d51ca2437683d54d1da2274edd8b4

## 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.
