16716.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site Detected

The domain 16716.xyz has been flagged as a confirmed phishing site with a high risk level, as of the report date July 19, 2026. It currently resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164. Analysis indicates that this domain has been identified by 12 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, showcasing a significant level of concern among the security community. Additionally, 16716.xyz appears on one recognized security blocklist, specifically blocked by the PhishDestroy service, which further substantiates its malicious intent. The domain is still active and returns a valid HTTP status of 200, suggesting that it is operational and possibly serving phishing content. Given this information, defenders should consider implementing immediate measures to block access to this domain across their networks, monitor for any potential user interactions with it, and educate users about the risks associated with phishing schemes. Further investigation into the domain's registration details and the infrastructure behind it may provide additional insights into its operation and any potential connections to other malicious activities.

## 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.
