16726.xyz — Generic Phishing Investigation Report

The domain 16726.xyz was observed serving HTTP responses with status code 200, indicating that a web server is actively delivering content. Network resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163, which is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal analysis shows that 7 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing its classification as a generic phishing infrastructure. The threat is rated high and the domain remains active as of the report date, July 19 2026. Public intelligence does not yet disclose the page title, targeted brand, or the specific phishing kit employed, so the exact lure and credential‑capture mechanisms remain unknown. Defenders should immediately add 16726.xyz and its resolved IP address to outbound and inbound block rules, monitor DNS queries for signs of internal resolution, and consider sinkholing the IP to disrupt any ongoing campaign. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, given the limited detection footprint and the possibility of additional indicators emerging from future scans.

## 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.
