16300.xyz Safety Check — Bet365 Brand Impersonation

This domain 16300.xyz is presently active and has been identified as a brand‑impersonation site targeting Bet365. The page title delivered by the server is 'welcome‑BET365', directly referencing the targeted brand. VirusTotal analysis shows that 16 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a moderate consensus among detection engines. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, which is allocated to Kowloon Telecommunications Co., Limited in Hong Kong.

Hosting is provided through a Cloudflare front‑end that supports HTTP/3, and the underlying web server is Nginx delivering a Vue.js application. Transport‑layer security is supplied by a Let’s Encrypt certificate issued under the YR2 automation profile, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is enforced. Registration details reveal that the domain was created through Dynadot Inc., and authoritative name servers are a8.share-dns.com and b8.share-dns.net. The infrastructure footprint appears on a single public blocklist, where it is listed by PhishDestroy as a confirmed phishing source.

Given the combination of brand‑specific page title, vendor detections, and active blocklist listing, defenders are advised to add 16300.xyz to deny‑list rules at network perimeter and endpoint filters. Continuous monitoring of the IP address 103.27.177.164 for any changes in hosting or certificate status is recommended, as well as periodic re‑scans with VirusTotal and other sandbox services to capture potential payload evolution. Organizations that use Bet365 services should alert users to the existence of this domain and reinforce authentication practices that rely on out‑of‑band verification.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e4f2b84c5699f26fbf7c2c0d55d238f7f69925ddb61f59ce7ba76f32acf05d1d

## 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.
