# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hcdistrictclerk.lgbud.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-12 21:47:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hcdistrictclerk.lgbud.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: 104.21.39.252 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Namemart Limited Nameservers: ["novalee.ns.cloudflare.com", "viddy.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: lgbud.vip | 521: Web server is down HTTP response: 521 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e89e4fc814e35aeb734657fb1d0275f96a739cc3358d1e890c8e1a460674f2e5 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - lgbud.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: 2026-07-12 20:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:24:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:58:28 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.lgbud.vip, is identified as a government-themed phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate legitimate county clerk or municipal services. Analysis indicates the site likely targeted individuals seeking public records, court documents, or voter registration portals, tricking users into submitting sensitive credentials such as login details, personal identification numbers, or payment information under the guise of official government processes. The domain’s naming convention mimics authentic county clerk websites, increasing its potential for deception among unsuspecting users seeking legal or civic services. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence threat indicators. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious or short-lived domains. Security vendors flagged the domain in 11 out of 95 VirusTotal scans, with detections spanning credential theft, phishing, and social engineering categories. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which tracks active phishing campaigns. The site resolved to IP address 104.21.39.252, a Cloudflare-associated address often used to mask hosting origins and evade takedown efforts. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, provides a false sense of legitimacy while failing to mitigate the underlying malicious intent. Users who visited hcdistrictclerk.lgbud.vip should take immediate remediation steps. If credentials or personal information were entered, affected individuals must change passwords for any reused accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial or identity-related activity for unauthorized access. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware or browser-based exploits. Given the domain’s offline status, users should remain vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts via email, SMS, or other channels, as threat actors often reuse harvested data in subsequent campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e89e4fc814e35aeb734657fb1d0275f96a739cc3358d1e890c8e1a460674f2e5 ## 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.lgbud.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hcdistrictclerk.lgbud.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.
