# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbrg.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 15:45:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbrg.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, 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: ["venus.ns.cloudflare.com", "maxim.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgbrg.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9fa2087d3fa00d19241d907263bd2a38dfc48cc9bc2dd9c197b5412c9252e66b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbrg.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 22:30:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:41:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-16 16:20:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:24:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:01:50 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.lgbrg.vip, poses as a legitimate government portal to harvest sensitive credentials from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates the site impersonates county clerk services, a common tactic to exploit trust in public institutions. Visitors are likely prompted to enter login details, personal information, or financial data, which is then transmitted to threat actors for fraudulent use or identity theft. The domain's design and naming convention specifically target individuals seeking official records or government services, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple red flags confirming malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with phishing operations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is currently flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including entries on two major blocklists. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services provides a false sense of security, as encryption does not guarantee legitimacy. These technical indicators align with known phishing infrastructure patterns, particularly those targeting public sector entities. Users who visited hcdistrictclerk.lgbrg.vip should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. First, revoke any credentials entered on the site and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity. Run a full system scan using updated security tools to detect potential malware or keyloggers. If financial information was submitted, contact relevant institutions to place fraud alerts on accounts. Report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities or incident response teams to aid in broader mitigation efforts. Given the elevated risk level and offline status, remain vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts via email or other communication channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 9fa2087d3fa00d19241d907263bd2a38dfc48cc9bc2dd9c197b5412c9252e66b ## 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.lgbrg.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbrg.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.
