16408.xyz — Generic Phishing Investigation Report

This domain, 16408.xyz, is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, and the web server returns HTTP 200, indicating an active payload. The domain is listed on one external blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, confirming its detection by at least one reputable sink. VirusTotal analysis shows that 17 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent. The threat remains active as of the report date (July 19 2026). No additional intelligence such as hosting ASN, country, or associated malware kits is available, leaving the broader infrastructure unknown. Defenders should immediately add 16408.xyz and its resolved IP address to deny‑list rules in firewalls, proxy filters, and endpoint protection suites. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries and outbound connections to this host is recommended, as is inclusion of the domain in threat‑intel feeds to ensure downstream security products receive the indicator. Given the high risk rating, organizations handling sensitive credentials should consider enforcing multi‑factor authentication and user education to mitigate credential‑theft attempts that may be delivered through this site.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      95249b01f36734eeed7d9b5a9073f0f18f930df558c0f1354a07ecedefb4c462

## 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.
