16943.xyz Generic Phishing Alert

The domain 16943.xyz is currently active and has been classified as a generic phishing site. Infrastructure analysis shows that the domain is hosted on the IP address 103.27.177.164, which is allocated to Hong Kong Kowloon Telecommunications Co., Limited. The domain is registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, and its authoritative name servers are a8.share-dns.com and b8.share-dns.net. An SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (YR1) protects the site, indicating that HTTPS connections are accepted.

Web‑technology fingerprinting reveals the presence of Bootstrap, Nginx, Swiper, Moment.js, and jQuery, suggesting a typical modern web stack but providing no direct insight into the phishing payload. VirusTotal scans report that 14 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, reflecting a moderate level of detection across the ecosystem. The domain appears on a single public security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, reinforcing its malicious reputation.

No public page title, brand target, or detailed content analysis is available at this time, leaving the exact luring technique and victim profile uncertain. Defenders should treat 16943.xyz as hostile, enforce network‑level blocking, and monitor outbound connections to the associated IP. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional indicators such as content snapshots or sandbox analysis may emerge, allowing finer attribution of the phishing campaign.

## 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.
