17198.xyz Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected

Analysis of 17198.xyz as of July 19, 2026 shows the domain is actively serving content (HTTP 200) and is classified as a generic phishing site. VirusTotal scans report that six of ninety‑one security vendors flag the domain as malicious, providing a modest but notable detection rate. The domain is listed on a single external blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming its presence on known phishing mitigation feeds. No additional intelligence such as page titles, targeted brands, or phishing kit identifiers is available, so the precise lure or credential‑harvesting technique remains unknown. The limited visibility of the site’s payload means defenders cannot rely on signature‑based detection alone. Recommended actions include adding 17198.xyz to local deny lists, enforcing DNS‑level blocking, and monitoring outbound connections for attempts to reach the domain. Organizations should also correlate any observed login or credential submissions with this indicator to identify potential compromise attempts. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis may reveal additional malicious components or victim targeting patterns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      16424677463c7f2f4534c270f95f0dcb8f1d6b589fc928c3183d40712a2c85e1

## 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.
