16043.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis indicates that the domain 16043.xyz is actively engaged in phishing activities, as evidenced by its current status being flagged by 18 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is actively listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the security service PhishDestroy. The HTTP status code returned is 200, suggesting that the site is operational and accessible. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is registered through Dynadot Inc and utilizes nameservers a6.share-dns.com and b6.share-dns.net. Additionally, it has been identified in one threat intelligence pulse within AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its malicious intent. Organizations should proactively block this domain on their networks to mitigate the risk of phishing attacks and monitor for any related phishing campaigns. The exact nature of the phishing attempt is not yet analyzed, thus caution is advised.

## 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.
