Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is currently under investigation for brand impersonation phishing, specifically targeting clients seeking legal services. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate law firm infrastructure to harvest sensitive client information, including case details, contact data, and financial records under the guise of legal consultation or document verification. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 09, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, an uncommon registrar for legal service providers. It resolves to IP address 194.48.203.206, which has no prior association with verified law firm hosting. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a false sense of legitimacy while lacking extended validation typical of professional legal entities. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades were identified at the time of assessment, though the future-dated registration (2026) is a strong indicator of malicious intent. Mitigation requires immediate domain-level blocking for all endpoints. Network administrators should add 194.48.203.206 to firewall deny lists and monitor for outbound connections to this IP. Email security systems should quarantine messages containing pwslawgroup.com links or sender addresses. End users should be trained to verify law firm legitimacy through official bar association directories and avoid submitting sensitive information to unverified legal portals. If interaction with the site has occurred, affected parties should assume credential compromise and initiate password resets for all accounts using similar login details. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-F73424 Favicon MD5: 057955b6f92b1da00194f872a9651367 TLS cert SHA-256: a38cf818ab7f0d1976860e492c957bd36016536429e9714b9a9b8e0e288b6e51 ## 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/pwslawgroup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pwslawgroup.com 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.
