Is 16045.xyz a Phishing Site?

Analysis of 16045.xyz indicates that the domain is actively serving content (HTTP 200) and is currently listed as malicious by multiple security vendors. VirusTotal records show that 17 of 91 scanners flag the domain, confirming a consensus of suspicious behavior. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc. and resolves to the nameservers a2.share-dns.com and b2.share-dns.net, a configuration commonly observed in disposable or fast‑flux hosting setups. It is already blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole and appears on one public security blocklist, suggesting that threat‑intelligence communities have taken mitigation steps. AlienVault OTX references the domain in a single pulse, providing an additional corroborating indicator of compromise. While the exact payload or credential‑harvesting page has not been publicly disclosed, the combination of vendor detections, blocklist presence, and sinkhole activity demonstrates a high risk to users who may encounter the domain in phishing campaigns. Defenders should enforce DNS‑level blocking for 16045.xyz, incorporate the domain into intrusion‑detection signatures, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to its authoritative nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further activity could expand the threat surface.

## 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.
