## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:55:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies lightchain-lcal.com as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating the Lightchain Protocol AI platform. The domain aimed to deceive users by mimicking the legitimate Lightchain.ai branding.

The domain was registered on June 15, 2025, and resolved to IP address 172.67.163.220. It was registered through Hello Internet Corp and appeared on four security blocklists. VirusTotal detected one vendor flagging the domain, indicating limited but notable risk.

Currently, lightchain-lcal.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. Users are advised to remain cautious, avoid interacting with suspicious sites, and report any phishing attempts to enhance collective cybersecurity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       8c1f01612acb8d2afa3cedec06adeedcca4a35cfcf7958081a3f41302944919a
TLS cert SHA-256:      78abd062fecb62e83987747b66e3b1f350f0fd8c6b02b4a88f0a2f709bbe0e1f

## 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 (volunteer 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.
