## 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 22:30:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:37:38 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-16 16:20:47 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:58:11 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.lgbux.vip, is identified as a credential phishing site targeting users of county clerk or municipal services. Analysis confirms the domain is designed to impersonate official government portals, likely to harvest sensitive login credentials, payment details, or personal identification information. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity and infrastructure remain under scrutiny.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Namemart Limited on June 12, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Security vendor assessments indicate that 11 of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and was previously blocked by enterprise-grade threat detection systems. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users.  Current status shows the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure and registration details suggest potential for reactivation or reuse in future campaigns. Organizations are advised to monitor for similar domains registered through Namemart Limited or resolving to the same IP range. Network administrators should implement DNS-based blocking for this domain and any associated IPs. Users who may have interacted with the site should reset credentials immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on relevant accounts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      edda78861c38b066e6cb2e0daad0b9a28032fc69395bb99824f5c8ff8b63504c

## 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.
