Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 16036.xyz Fake Account Verification Alert Analysis of the domain 16036.xyz indicates active phishing infrastructure targeting user credentials under the guise of account verification. Registered through Dynadot Inc, the domain remains operational as of July 19, 2026, with an HTTP status of 200, suggesting a live and accessible endpoint. Infrastructure analysis reveals nameservers a8.share-dns.com and b8.share-dns.net, which have been previously associated with other phishing campaigns, though no direct attribution to a specific threat actor or phishing kit is confirmed in the available data. Security vendor detection on VirusTotal shows 17 of 91 engines flagging the domain, a moderate but notable signal given the variability in detection rates across platforms. The domain appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious classification. Additionally, it is listed on a single security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which specializes in phishing domain mitigation. No brand or service impersonation is explicitly identified in the available evidence, though the domain's structure and naming convention suggest an attempt to mimic a legitimate verification or login portal. The exact content of the site has not been analyzed, and no specific phishing kit or payload has been attributed to this domain at this time. Defenders are advised to treat 16036.xyz as high-risk and prioritize blocking at the DNS or network level, particularly in environments where credential harvesting poses a significant threat. Monitoring for related domains registered through the same registrar or utilizing identical nameserver infrastructure may aid in identifying broader campaign activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a26f1c7dc543b87774959185756788896d68187a3f1fb3a489673f71e37661c1 ## 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/16036.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16036.xyz 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.
