Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - lgbsq.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 22:30:37 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 22:01:16 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.lgbsq.vip, is flagged as an elevated-risk phishing site specifically designed for fake government login credential theft. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is engineered to impersonate official government portals, likely targeting users seeking county clerk services. The threat type involves presenting fraudulent login forms to harvest credentials, which may be exploited for unauthorized access or follow-on attacks such as identity theft or financial fraud.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.95.248 and was registered through Namemart Limited on June 12, 2026. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. VirusTotal detections show 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently classified as offline. The creation date suggests recent registration, aligning with typical phishing campaign timelines.  Mitigation requires immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (104.21.95.248) at the network perimeter. Organizations should deploy email and web filtering rules to prevent user access. End-user education should emphasize verifying government domains via official .gov sources before entering credentials. Security teams are advised to monitor for credential reuse attempts and implement multi-factor authentication to mitigate potential account takeovers. Historical logs should be reviewed for prior interactions with this domain or its IP to assess potential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4d48ef627256a215bd218e261e83549d61d6092656173301848e1e151965268c

## 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.
