## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-08-19
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 756539d67c66702e7f7ff8cade0bbfe6bc54b39fd2f28375a69aec39ce7d19c7
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - lgbsl.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 22:30:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-16 12:20:39 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 13:02:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:01:16 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.lgbsl.vip, is identified as a credential phishing site impersonating a county clerk or local government portal. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to harvest login credentials, likely targeting residents or employees interacting with municipal services. No specific drainer kit signatures were detected, but the domain follows common phishing patterns for government-themed fraud campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Namemart Limited on June 12, 2026, resolving to IP address 188.114.96.3. Detection metrics show 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appears on a single third-party blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) detections were recorded at the time of analysis.  The domain is currently offline, likely taken down following detection or manual intervention. Despite its inactive status, the infrastructure remains a residual risk due to the potential for re-registration or migration to new hosts. Organizations should monitor for similar naming patterns (e.g., county/district-themed subdomains under newly registered vip TLDs) and implement DNS-based blocking for the resolved IP. Users should verify government portals via official channels before entering credentials, particularly when prompted by unsolicited communications.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      756539d67c66702e7f7ff8cade0bbfe6bc54b39fd2f28375a69aec39ce7d19c7

## 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.
