Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is 16724.xyz a Phishing Site Targeting Credentials? This domain, 16724.xyz, is flagged as an active phishing threat as of July 22, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to 103.27.177.163, hosted by a provider in Hong Kong under TELECOMMUNICATIONS CO., LIMITED. The domain uses nameservers a7.share-dns.com and b7.share-dns.net, a pattern observed in other phishing operations. It is blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on at least one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites, with no anomalies in the certificate itself. Thirteen of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal detect this domain as malicious, indicating a consensus among multiple detection engines. The registrar is GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, a provider frequently used for registering phishing domains due to its accessibility and privacy options. Technologies detected on the domain include Nginx, a widely used web server that offers no inherent indication of malicious activity but is commonly deployed in phishing infrastructure. The exact nature of the phishing content or targeted brand is not specified in available intelligence, so defenders should assume it is a generic credential-harvesting site until further analysis is conducted. No Safe Browsing or OTX data is provided, leaving uncertainty about additional detection or historical context. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at the DNS or network level. If internal logs show any connections to 16724.xyz, initiate incident response procedures to identify potentially compromised credentials or devices. Further investigation should include checking for related domains using the same nameservers or IP range, as phishing campaigns often reuse infrastructure. ## 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/16724.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16724.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.
