No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 13:00:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-23 20:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-22 12:43:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 17796.xyz Credential Harvesting Site – High Risk Analysis of the domain 17796.xyz indicates an active credential harvesting operation classified as generic phishing with a high risk rating. The site presents a minimal page title of "Welcome" and is hosted on the IP address 103.27.177.164, which is registered to Kowloon Telecommunications Co., Limited in Hong Kong. The hosting infrastructure uses Nginx as the web server and incorporates front‑end libraries including Bootstrap, jQuery, Swiper, and Moment.js, suggesting a standard web template rather than a bespoke malicious kit. The domain was registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com and resolves via the authoritative nameservers a6.share-dns.com and b6.share-dns.net. Transport security is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR2), indicating the presence of valid TLS but offering no guarantee of legitimacy. Reputation data shows that 13 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and Google Safe Browsing labels it as a social engineering threat. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. While the exact phishing payload and target brand are not disclosed, the combination of a generic welcoming title, the use of common web frameworks, and the observed security flags strongly suggest a credential‑stealing campaign. Defenders should add 17796.xyz and its resolving IP 103.27.177.164 to network and DNS blocklists, monitor TLS certificate changes, and enforce safe‑browsing policies to prevent user exposure. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended as additional intelligence may emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6d1e0587be6eaf7c62267a1d0fa3f82e6b962f8862b5ee77f14c8e5def785547 ## 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/17796.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=17796.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.
