No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 13:00:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-25 00:23:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-19 20:09:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 16843.xyz Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis of the domain 16843.xyz, observed on July 19, 2026, confirms that it remains active and is classified as a generic phishing threat with a high risk rating. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, returning HTTP status code 200, indicating that a web service is reachable. VirusTotal has recorded detections from 16 of 91 security vendors, demonstrating that multiple independent scanners have identified malicious characteristics associated with the host. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, further corroborating its malicious intent. While the available intelligence does not disclose the underlying phishing kit, target brand, or specific content served, the combination of active hosting, positive vendor detections, and blocklist inclusion provides sufficient evidence for defensive action. Security teams should add 16843.xyz to web filtering and DNS block policies, monitor outbound connections to 103.27.177.164, and consider sharing the indicator with threat‑intel sharing platforms. Continued observation is advised to capture any evolution of the campaign, but current data warrants immediate remediation to protect users from credential harvesting attempts. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/16843.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16843.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
