17961.xyz: Confirmed Social-Engineering Phishing Site

This domain, 17961.xyz, is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site specializing in social-engineering attacks. Registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, the domain remains operational as of July 19, 2026, returning an HTTP 200 status, indicating an accessible web resource. Infrastructure analysis reveals nameservers a5.share-dns.com and b5.share-dns.net, which have been associated with other malicious domains in threat intelligence repositories. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. Google Safe Browsing classifies it as social engineering, aligning with its detection by 14 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal. While the exact content or targeted brand is not yet analyzed, the domain's inclusion in a single AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse further corroborates its malicious classification. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat, prioritizing its blocking at the DNS and web proxy layers. Given its social-engineering designation, user awareness training on recognizing such attacks is recommended. No evidence currently links this domain to a specific phishing kit or campaign, and further investigation into its hosted content is warranted to determine the precise nature of the threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6cdef2f58d755294375667ebadd8bcbb664bf6fff97785bf513a3af4f7b9bf33

## 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.
