HTTP response:   521

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-08-20
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 1faf1df8a3364002fbcbc93df8dc3eb9d810dba5d84c4f45fe23752a71ad6e97
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - lgbub.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 22:30:45 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: 2026-07-13 00:20:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain hcdistrictclerk.lgbub.vip shows a newly registered (June 12, 2026) infrastructure that is currently active. The domain resolves to 172.67.158.142 and is served through Cloudflare, with nameservers novalee.ns.cloudflare.com and viddy.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of a CDN for anonymity and resilience. HTTP responses return a 521 status code, meaning the origin web server is down, but the presence of a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1) confirms that TLS is correctly configured. The site is classified as a credential phishing operation and appears on one security blocklist; it is also flagged by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans show that 11 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing its malicious reputation. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, further underscoring the risk. No public content has been captured, so the exact phishing payload, targeted brands, or victim interaction flow remain unknown. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and network layers, monitor for any DNS queries to the associated IP address, and add the domain to internal threat blocklists. Continued observation of the IP and any changes in HTTP status or certificate details is recommended to detect potential reactivation of the backend service.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 11/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da
TLS cert SHA-256:      1faf1df8a3364002fbcbc93df8dc3eb9d810dba5d84c4f45fe23752a71ad6e97

## 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.
