Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 16072.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk phishing resource specializing in fake login credential harvesting. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand or cryptocurrency drainer kit, but the infrastructure aligns with generic credential theft campaigns targeting users through deceptive login portals. The domain lacks overt brand impersonation markers, suggesting a broader, opportunistic phishing strategy rather than a targeted campaign against a single entity. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 24, 2026, through DYNADOT LLC, a registrar frequently utilized by threat actors for its accessibility and bulk registration capabilities. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164, a host with a history of association with malicious domains. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. VirusTotal detection metrics show 14 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating moderate but not universal recognition of the threat. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist data is currently available from major threat intelligence platforms, suggesting the domain may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading broader detection. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, with no evidence of takedown or sinkholing. Response actions should prioritize immediate blocklisting at the DNS and network levels, particularly for organizations with high exposure to credential-based attacks. Users encountering this domain are advised to avoid interaction, as any input—including usernames, passwords, or personal information—is likely to be exfiltrated to threat actor-controlled infrastructure. Persistent risk stems from the domain's continued resolution, SSL encryption, and lack of widespread blocklisting, which may allow it to evade basic security controls. Monitoring for related domains registered under the same IP or registrar is recommended to identify potential campaign expansion.

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/16072.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16072.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.
