168sun.net Safety Check — Generic Phishing Domain Detected

Analysis of 168sun.net confirms its classification as an active generic phishing domain, as of July 19, 2026. The domain is currently resolving with an HTTP 200 status, indicating operational infrastructure. It has been flagged by one security vendor (PhishDestroy) and appears on a single blocklist, suggesting early-stage detection rather than widespread confirmation. VirusTotal data shows one of ninety-one security vendors marking the domain as malicious, though the specific nature of the threat—such as targeted brand or phishing kit—remains unconfirmed due to limited technical details. No additional infrastructure indicators (e.g., ASN, hosting provider, or geographic origin) or page-level analysis (e.g., login forms, brand impersonation) are available at this time. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at the network or endpoint level based on existing indicators. Further investigation into its content and associated infrastructure is recommended to determine the precise phishing methodology or targeted sector. Given its current low detection rate, monitoring for additional vendor confirmations or updated threat intelligence may provide clearer context.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e32b88b78b9d34634caa643ab8c3446a
TLS cert SHA-256:      d036be3eff475fc6417ac0fb8a4df4f6f4b3c31050821e09ff0eebc49f2797b2

## 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.
