Is 16738.xyz a Fake Login Scam Site?

Analysis indicates that 16738.xyz is an active phishing domain flagged by multiple security sources as of July 19, 2026. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has been detected by 15 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a high-risk classification. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 103.27.177.164 and returns an HTTP 200 status, confirming it is currently operational and serving content. The domain is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, further supporting its classification as malicious. No specific brand impersonation or phishing kit details are available in the current intelligence, so the exact nature of the scam content remains unconfirmed. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and prioritize blocking it at the network level. If internal logs show any user interaction with 16738.xyz, immediate investigation for credential compromise or malware exposure is recommended. Given the domain's active status and detection rate, organizations should also monitor for related infrastructure or similar naming patterns that may indicate a broader campaign.

## 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.
