16243.xyz Safety Check — Phishing Detected

The domain 16243.xyz is currently resolved to the authoritative name servers a3.share-dns.com and b3.share-dns.net, both typical of shared DNS services. Registration details show the domain was created through Dynadot Inc., a registrar that frequently hosts short‑lived malicious sites. An HTTP GET returns a 200 OK response, indicating that a web service is actively serving content. Google Safe Browsing has classified the site as a social engineering threat, which aligns with the generic phishing label assigned by the reporting system. VirusTotal scans have recorded 17 detections out of 91 security engines, confirming that a notable portion of the scanning community observes malicious behavior. The domain is listed on a public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. The presence of the domain on only one additional blocklist suggests limited exposure, but the high risk rating reflects the confirmed phishing capability. At this time, the specific content, target brand, or lure employed by the site has not been publicly disclosed, and no page‑level analysis is available. Defenders should add 16243.xyz to inbound and outbound filtering rules, monitor DNS queries for the associated name servers, and consider upstream blocking via DNS sinkhole or firewall policies. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the site remains active and could change its payload or hosting infrastructure.

## 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.
