Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 16betax.com, is actively engaged in credential theft operations targeting users through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest usernames, passwords, and other sensitive authentication details, likely for subsequent unauthorized access to financial or personal accounts. The domain mimics legitimate platforms, employing social engineering tactics to trick users into divulging credentials under false pretenses, such as account verification or security updates. Infrastructure analysis reveals concrete indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on September 10, 2025, through Cloud Yuqu LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.3.211, which hosts multiple suspicious domains. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged 16betax.com as malicious, with 6 out of 95 engines detecting threats. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, does not mitigate the risk, as threat actors commonly exploit valid certificates to lend false legitimacy to phishing sites. The domain remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation efforts. Users who have visited 16betax.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate risk. First, revoke any sessions or passwords associated with the site and enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts. Monitor financial statements and account activity for unauthorized transactions or changes. If personal or financial data was submitted, consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus and reporting the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities. Avoid interacting with the domain or any links associated with it, as further exposure may lead to additional compromise. Organizations should block the domain and IP address at the network level to prevent access by employees or customers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-97441D Favicon MD5: ef5310ab94e3da947d6fcfa0cf45242a TLS cert SHA-256: 753334668e7e786dc661b75ccb36817daf1d7a53fd37ad08bb0d21ad50489ad5 ## 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/16betax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=16betax.com 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.
