sterlinghalelaw.com.capital1credit-union.com — Phishing

The domain sterlinghalelaw.com.capital1credit-union.com is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing site. Registration data shows the domain was created through Global Domain Group LLC, indicating a commercial registrar that is frequently used by malicious actors. Infrastructure analysis reveals four authoritative name servers: ns5.asurahosting.com, ns5.my-control-panel.com, ns6.asurahosting.com, and a fourth entry that is truncated in the available data, suggesting possible misconfiguration or deliberate obfuscation. The domain is listed on one public security blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming that at least one defensive feed has identified it as malicious.

VirusTotal scans report that eight of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, providing independent corroboration of its malicious nature. HTTP probing returns a 302 redirect, a common technique used to forward victims to a credential‑harvesting page while evading simple static analysis. No additional details such as SSL certificate attributes, IP address, or geographic hosting information are present in the current intelligence set, leaving those aspects of the infrastructure unverified. Given the confirmed presence on a blocklist, the detection count from VirusTotal, and the observed HTTP 302 behavior, defenders should treat this domain as actively malicious.

Recommended mitigations include adding the domain to network and endpoint blocklists, configuring web gateways to drop HTTP 302 responses from this host, and monitoring DNS queries for the listed name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the truncated fourth name server may indicate future changes to the hosting configuration. Analysts should also track any new VirusTotal submissions or blocklist entries that reference this domain to assess evolving threat activity.

## 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.
