Is 17974.xyz a phishing domain?

The domain 17974.xyz was registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163 and the authoritative nameservers are a9.share-dns.com and b9.share-dns.net. An HTTP request returns status code 200, indicating that the web service is currently reachable. Google Safe Browsing classifies the URL as a social‑engineering threat, and VirusTotal records 17 detections out of 91 scanned scanners, confirming that multiple security products consider the site malicious. The domain appears on one public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. Its status is listed as active, and no additional intelligence such as hosting ASN, geographic location, or the exact content of the site has been disclosed. Because the available evidence shows a confirmed malicious classification and active hosting, defenders should treat 17974.xyz as hostile. Recommended actions include adding the domain to outbound and inbound URL filtering rules, ensuring that endpoint protection solutions receive the latest indicator updates, and monitoring network traffic for connections to 103.27.177.163. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised should new content analysis become available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      cf8193ad151d376b0e1c061ad8674759f391c3894cee2cf7199df740ee873a5f

## 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.
