# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbgd.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 15:45:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbgd.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Namemart Limited Nameservers: ["crystal.ns.cloudflare.com", "patrick.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgbgd.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c180a33acd3e0722c87406999adbbefc9ac0c0f38ce648ccc69fdbef3b51ece1 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbgd.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 22:30:46 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 22:02:12 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.lgbgd.vip, is flagged as a generic phishing resource targeting users through brand impersonation of a county government office. Analysis indicates the site was designed to mimic legitimate district clerk portals, likely to harvest login credentials for unauthorized access to sensitive records or financial fraud. No crypto drainer kit signatures were observed, but the infrastructure aligns with credential-theft campaigns targeting public sector entities. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other phishing infrastructure in recent months. VirusTotal detections stand at 11 out of 95 security vendors, indicating moderate but consistent identification as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by at least one enterprise threat feed. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors. At present, the domain has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or infrastructure takedowns. However, the elevated risk level persists due to the domain's recent registration and the registrar's history of abuse. Users who may have interacted with this domain are advised to reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window. Organizations should monitor for follow-up campaigns using similar naming conventions or registrar patterns, as threat actors often reuse infrastructure components across multiple operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da TLS cert SHA-256: c180a33acd3e0722c87406999adbbefc9ac0c0f38ce648ccc69fdbef3b51ece1 ## 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.lgbgd.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbgd.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.
