Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 16958.xyz: Active Social Engineering Phishing Site Detected Analysis conducted on July 19, 2026, confirms that the domain 16958.xyz is actively engaged in social engineering phishing activity. The domain resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164 and currently returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating operational availability. Google Safe Browsing has explicitly flagged this domain for social engineering, a classification supported by its inclusion on one security blocklist and detection by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal reports that 16 out of 91 security vendors identify the domain as malicious, while AlienVault OTX lists it in a single threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its association with phishing infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals no additional details regarding the registrar, autonomous system number (ASN), or hosting country. The exact content or targeted brand of the phishing site remains unconfirmed, as no specific brand or scam type is identified in available intelligence. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking measures at the network level. Monitoring for related domains sharing the same IP or registration patterns is recommended to preempt potential lateral threats. Given the domain's active status and confirmed detection by multiple security mechanisms, organizations should prioritize its exclusion from trusted traffic until further analysis or takedown occurs. ## 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/16958.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16958.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.
