  - lgbug.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: 2026-07-08 14:59:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain hcdistrictclerk.lgbug.vip is flagged as malicious by 12 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant threat level. Although currently offline, the domain's history suggests it was involved in phishing activities. The registrar, Namemart Limited, is known for hosting similar malicious domains, which raises concerns about its oversight.

Despite its offline status, the domain's previous activity underscores the importance of monitoring such threats. PhishDestroy has added this domain to its public blocklist, highlighting its potential risk. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a legitimate issuer, which may have been used to lend credibility to the phishing site.

The hosting IP, 188.114.97.3, is associated with other suspicious activities, further implicating the domain in malicious operations. The domain was created on June 12, 2026, suggesting a future registration date, which could indicate an error or intentional obfuscation. This anomaly, coupled with its offline status, makes it crucial to remain aware of similar domains that might appear in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da
TLS cert SHA-256:      df61f9475c18d782ccfc6097c24de376d23acf5b5a97dfca92badf7f19aff9f8

## 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.
