16730.xyz Safety Check — Phishing Campaign Detected

Analysis indicates that 16730.xyz is currently active and classified as a generic phishing site with a high risk rating. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164 and returns HTTP 200 responses, suggesting that a web service is reachable. It appears on one security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal scans show that 14 of 91 AV engines flagged the domain, confirming malicious intent. No public page title, brand targeting, or kit information is available, so the specific phishing lure remains unknown. The presence of an operational web server combined with multiple vendor detections and blocklist inclusion warrants immediate defensive action. Organizations should add 16730.xyz to DNS and proxy deny lists, ensure that intrusion‑prevention systems enforce the block, and monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address for any anomalous traffic. Continued observation is advised to capture any evolving payloads or credential‑stealing pages that may appear.

## 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.
