16823.xyz — Generic Phishing Campaign Investigation Report

The domain 16823.xyz is currently identified as an active high-risk phishing threat as of July 19, 2026. Multiple security signals support this assessment: the domain is flagged by the PhishDestroy blocklist and appears on at least one other security blocklist. Furthermore, VirusTotal reports 16 out of 91 security vendors currently detect this domain as malicious. The domain resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164 and responds with HTTP status 200, indicating that the site is operational and accessible at the time of analysis. There is no evidence regarding the specific content, targeted brands, or phishing kit in use, and the exact nature of the phishing activity has not been directly analyzed. However, the convergence of blocklist inclusion and multiple vendor detections strongly suggests that the domain is being used in a generic phishing campaign. Defenders are advised to block network traffic to 16823.xyz and the associated IP address 103.27.177.164, and to update security filters accordingly. Continued monitoring for related indicators and user reports is recommended, as the domain remains active and poses a high risk to users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6d8bfcc68ccb61549791ea6044cb9c6c452b2d260274c87798fd05a5988b9405

## 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.
