No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 13:00:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 12:53:50 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-22 12:41:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 16251.xyz Phishing Site Detected The domain 16251.xyz is currently active and serves HTTP content with a 200 response code. DNS resolution points to the IP address 103.27.177.163, which is allocated to Hong Kong Kowloon Telecommunications Co., Limited. The hosting environment is identified as Nginx, and the page loads client‑side libraries including Bootstrap, Swiper, Moment.js, and jQuery, indicating a typical web‑application stack used in many phishing kits. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (certificate identifier YR2), confirming that encrypted connections are available to visitors. Registration data shows the domain was purchased through Dynadot Inc., and authoritative name servers are a2.share-dns.com and b2.share-dns.net. Threat intelligence indicates the domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, reflecting that at least one anti‑phishing organization has taken remediation action. VirusTotal analysis reports that five of ninety‑one scanning engines flag the domain, providing modest but notable detection consensus. No additional public reputation services, Safe Browsing checks, or Open Threat Exchange (OTX) entries are cited in the available data. Given the confirmed active status, the presence of a legitimate TLS certificate, and the modest detection rate, defenders should prioritize network‑level denial of the domain and its associated IP address, incorporate the domain into URL filtering and DNS sinkhole policies, and monitor for any related indicators of compromise. Continuous observation of the hosting provider and registrar for new domains exhibiting similar technology stacks is advised, as the reuse of this infrastructure is common in phishing campaigns. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/16251.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16251.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.
