16042.xyz: Confirmed Generic Phishing Site

Analysis of the domain 16042.xyz indicates its active status as a confirmed phishing site as of July 19, 2026. The domain is currently registered through Dynadot Inc and utilizes nameservers a11.share-dns.com and b11.share-dns.net. The HTTP status returned is 200, suggesting that the site is operational. It has been flagged by 17 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a recognition of its malicious intent by various cybersecurity entities. Furthermore, the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one security blocklist, reinforcing its classification as a threat. Additionally, it has been identified in a threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, which further suggests its malicious reputation within the cybersecurity community. Defenders should prioritize blocking this domain across their networks and implement monitoring for any phishing attempts associated with it. Continuing vigilance is recommended to mitigate risks associated with such confirmed phishing activities.

## 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.
