16835.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site Targeting Financial

Analysis of the domain 16835.xyz confirms its classification as an active phishing site, with infrastructure and detection data supporting a high-risk assessment. As of July 19, 2026, the domain resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.163 and returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating the site is operational. It appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and is flagged by 16 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, reinforcing its malicious classification.  The exact nature of the phishing content remains unconfirmed, as no specific brand, login portal, or scam type has been identified in the available data. However, the domain’s infrastructure and detection profile align with credential-harvesting campaigns, a common tactic in financial fraud. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and prioritize blocking it at the network level, particularly in environments handling sensitive financial or personal data. Monitoring for connections to 103.27.177.163 or related domains may help identify compromised endpoints. Further investigation into the site’s content is recommended to determine the targeted brand or service, though no evidence currently suggests a specific impersonation.

## 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.
