16826.xyz Safety Check — Generic Phishing Domain Detected

This domain, 16826.xyz, is flagged as an active generic phishing threat as of July 19, 2026. Analysis indicates it resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164 and returns an HTTP 200 status, suggesting operational hosting. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist (PhishDestroy), and 16 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected malicious activity associated with it. No specific brand impersonation, phishing kit, or targeted scam type has been confirmed in available data, limiting attribution to generic credential harvesting or fraud. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or network layer. Further investigation into associated infrastructure (e.g., hosting provider, ASN) may reveal additional linked threats. If endpoint or email telemetry indicates user interaction with this domain, initiate incident response procedures to assess potential credential compromise or malware exposure. The exact content of the phishing page remains unanalyzed, so monitoring for new indicators or brand-specific targeting is recommended.

## 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.
