# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbkg.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 15:45:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbkg.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, 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: ["lennon.ns.cloudflare.com", "ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgbkg.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8230c44e33b62bb95fd312328fa4b4ecc3a8f04832008230c281db0fdb52dc90 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbkg.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 22:30:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:37:38 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 12:14:15 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.lgbkg.vip, is identified as a high-risk phishing site impersonating a government entity, specifically targeting district clerk services. Analysis indicates the threat type is government impersonation phishing, designed to harvest credentials through a fake login portal. No specific drainer kit or cryptocurrency-related activity has been confirmed at this time, though the infrastructure aligns with credential theft campaigns targeting public sector employees and citizens. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate to high confidence in malicious classification. It was registered through Namemart Limited on June 12, 2026, a date inconsistent with typical domain aging patterns, suggesting potential registration for malicious purposes. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently not listed in Google Safe Browsing (GSB). No associated IP address or hosting provider has been publicly disclosed at this time, though passive DNS analysis may reveal further infrastructure links. The domain remains active and poses a continued risk to users who may mistake it for a legitimate government service portal. Response actions include blocking the domain at the network level and alerting relevant stakeholders in the public sector to mitigate credential theft risks. Despite current blocking measures, the domain's persistence and active status necessitate ongoing monitoring, as threat actors may migrate infrastructure or register similar domains to evade detection. Users are advised to verify government service URLs through official channels and implement multi-factor authentication to reduce the impact of potential credential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8230c44e33b62bb95fd312328fa4b4ecc3a8f04832008230c281db0fdb52dc90 ## 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.lgbkg.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbkg.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.
