16946.xyz Fake Brand Alert

The domain 16946.xyz is currently active and has been identified as a high-risk phishing threat. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164 and returns an HTTP status of 200, indicating that the site is accessible. The domain has been blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one security blocklist, demonstrating its recognition as a potential threat by security measures. Analysis from VirusTotal shows that 15 out of 91 security vendors have flagged this domain, further substantiating its malicious nature. There is currently no specific brand or service identified as being impersonated by this domain, which limits the ability to determine the target of the phishing attempt. Defenders are advised to monitor network traffic for any interactions with this domain and implement email filtering measures to prevent phishing attempts from reaching end users. Continued surveillance is recommended to track any changes in the domain's status or tactics.

## 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.
