Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain legal-finance.live is flagged as a high-risk credential theft phishing site. There is no specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit identified, but the domain's purpose is to trick users into disclosing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and other authentication credentials. The domain appears to be part of a broader phishing campaign targeting individuals and organizations. Technical indicators for legal-finance.live include a VirusTotal score of 1/95, indicating that one security vendor out of 95 has flagged this domain as potentially malicious. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was created on July 07, 2026, and currently holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain is not listed in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) as of the latest check, and there are no known blocklists that have identified this domain as malicious. The domain is currently active, and users are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain. Immediate response actions include adding legal-finance.live to organizational blocklists and warning employees about the potential for phishing attacks. Despite the low VirusTotal score, the remaining risk is high due to the domain's active status and the potential for rapid deployment of more sophisticated phishing techniques. Organizations should monitor for any new indicators of compromise and consider conducting security awareness training to mitigate the risk of credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-B515F6 Favicon MD5: 4a2bc425897c4c4954782f7d9a0e0fc3 TLS cert SHA-256: 55de3012ae6cc711e2984fb1e7a44a1ec2d373032e8b65c52fd55c31a22f938a ## 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/legal-finance.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=legal-finance.live 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.
