Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, legalfinances.live, is currently flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site targeting financial services users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to impersonate legitimate financial platforms, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage. The domain remains operational and under investigation for fraudulent activity. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on July 07, 2026, with no prior history or reputation. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.181.196, which has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades have been recorded, suggesting the domain has evaded detection mechanisms despite its recent creation and suspicious purpose. Current status shows the domain remains active and unflagged by security vendors, posing a continued risk to users. Organizations and individuals are advised to implement network-level blocking for 172.67.181.196 and monitor for connections to legalfinances.live. Security teams should treat any interaction with this domain as a potential credential compromise event and initiate password resets for affected accounts. Proactive DNS filtering and endpoint detection rules are recommended to mitigate exposure.

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/legalfinances.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=legalfinances.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.
