firstnationalfinance[.]org

On July 25, 2026, the domain firstnationalfinance.org was observed as offline. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Dynadot LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.88.188, which is announced by AS53667 (FranTech Solutions) and geolocated in the United States. Authoritative name servers are ns7.asurahosting.com and ns8.asurahosting.com. The site presented the page title “Home – First National Finance”, indicating an attempt to impersonate the financial institution First National Finance. The scam type is classified as brand impersonation. Technical fingerprinting shows the web server runs LiteSpeed and delivers content over HTTP/3.

Front‑end assets reference Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, jsDelivr, and the live‑chat widget Smartsupp. The TLS certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), confirming the use of a free, automated certificate. Threat intelligence scans recorded 14 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. The risk rating is elevated, reflecting the combination of brand impersonation, low trust score, and vendor detections.

Because the site is currently offline, active exploitation cannot be confirmed, but the infrastructure and detection profile suggest it was intended for credential harvesting or fraudulent financial communications. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address and name servers, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Additional investigation of any observed traffic to the IP address or to the Smartsupp script endpoint may reveal compromised hosts. Organizations that use the First National Finance brand should issue user awareness advisories referencing the exact page title and encourage verification of TLS certificates.
