# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbss.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-17 17:15:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbss.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, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.198.98 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Namemart Limited Nameservers: ["aurora.ns.cloudflare.com", "robert.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgbss.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 93c0acc27b01c844124aaea5ba6311a00e1410596c48d9f633bac58e447bd3b1 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbss.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 22:30:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-17 16:20:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 13:02:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:01:17 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.lgbss.vip, is designed to deceive visitors into believing it is an official government portal, likely targeting users seeking county clerk services. Analysis indicates the site is engineered for credential theft, where attackers collect login details, personal information, or financial data under false pretenses. The domain’s infrastructure and naming convention closely resemble legitimate government sites, increasing the likelihood of successful phishing attempts against unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple red flags confirming its malicious nature. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar often associated with high-risk registrations. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it 11 times out of 95, indicating broad consensus among detection systems. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and was actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, resolves to the IP address 172.67.198.98, a common indicator in phishing campaigns leveraging content delivery networks to obscure origin. If you or someone else visited hcdistrictclerk.lgbss.vip, immediate action is required to mitigate potential harm. First, do not enter any credentials or personal information if prompted. If login details were submitted, change passwords for all associated accounts, especially those tied to government or financial services. Enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and report any suspicious transactions. For organizations, consider blocking the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent further access. Users should also scan their devices for malware, as phishing sites often redirect to exploit kits or distribute malicious payloads. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 93c0acc27b01c844124aaea5ba6311a00e1410596c48d9f633bac58e447bd3b1 ## 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.lgbss.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbss.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.
