Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 16712.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site As of July 22, 2026, the domain 16712.xyz has been confirmed as a phishing site. Analysis indicates that the domain is currently active and has been flagged by 7 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which suggests it is known to engage in malicious activities. The SSL certificate for 16712.xyz is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common practice among phishing sites to gain user trust. The domain resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164, which is located in Hong Kong and hosted by HONG KONG KOWLOON TELECOMMUNICATIONS CO., LIMITED. The nameservers for this domain are a9.share-dns.com and b9.share-dns.net, indicating the use of shared DNS services, which are often associated with compromised or low-reputation infrastructure. The domain is registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, a reputable registrar, but the registration alone does not imply the domain's legitimacy. The website employs Vue.js and Nginx for its frontend and backend, respectively, and has implemented HSTS and HTTP/3, which can enhance the site's security but also make it more robust and harder to detect. Cloudflare is also detected, which can provide additional protection against certain types of attacks but may also be used to obscure the true nature of the site. Given the high risk level and the active status of the domain, defenders should take immediate action to block access to 16712.xyz and monitor for any related malicious activities. The exact content and specific targets of the phishing site have not been analyzed, but the technical indicators and reputation data strongly suggest that it poses a significant threat to users. Defenders should also consider implementing additional layers of security, such as email filtering and user education, to prevent phishing attempts from reaching their network. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: aae87597bace5b767826143ec8cb4ca9a571ec528f91de3b93e6629b275205c7 ## 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/16712.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16712.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.
