## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

  - lgbut.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 21:58:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through impersonation of official district clerk services. Analysis indicates a focused effort to collect sensitive login credentials via fraudulent web forms, a common tactic in targeted phishing campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Namemart Limited, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other phishing infrastructure. The domain is currently offline but was detected by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on one security blocklist, and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a pattern observed in phishing sites to appear legitimate.  Organizations and users should implement the following mitigation steps: block the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.97.3) at the network perimeter, update endpoint protection rules to flag or quarantine any connections to this infrastructure, and conduct user awareness training to recognize impersonation tactics. Security teams should monitor for credential reuse attempts, particularly for accounts that may have interacted with the domain prior to its takedown. If the domain resurfaces, immediate reporting to relevant security teams and domain registrars is recommended to facilitate rapid remediation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c30dab61286c7b97c6da1037670b3dbd9ce5304966efeba73817e96b66ff9339

## 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.
