# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbge.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 16:51:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbge.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## 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: 172.67.153.44 (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: lgbge.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d4e8cee9725edd68d4340cc17cf7bc57e3a3295a861c04b43a39393b65aeeb0b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbge.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 22:30:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:37:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-16 16:20:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:23:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 13:24:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] hcdistrictclerk.lgbge.vip is a high-risk domain flagged for generic_phishing activities. It impersonates the HC District Clerk, a local government entity, potentially to deceive users into providing sensitive information. No specific drainer kit has been identified in the current analysis. Infrastructure analysis reveals that hcdistrictclerk.lgbge.vip has a VirusTotal score of 10/95, indicating a moderate level of detection by security vendors. The domain is registered through Namemart Limited and resolves to the IP address 172.67.153.44. The domain was created on June 12, 2026, and is currently listed on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, which may be an attempt to appear more legitimate to unsuspecting users. The domain remains active, posing a significant threat to users who may mistake it for the legitimate HC District Clerk website. Immediate response actions include blocking the domain at the network level and educating users about the risks of phishing attacks. Despite these measures, the remaining risk is high due to the domain's active status and the potential for ongoing phishing attempts. Users should avoid clicking on links or providing any personal information to this domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d4e8cee9725edd68d4340cc17cf7bc57e3a3295a861c04b43a39393b65aeeb0b ## 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.lgbge.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbge.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.
