Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 17990.xyz Fake Google Alert On July 22, 2026, security monitoring systems flagged the domain 17990.xyz as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Google. The domain is registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com and resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, which is allocated to Hong Kong Kowloon Telecommunications Co., Limited. The hosting infrastructure is served by Nginx and presents an HTTP 200 response, indicating that the web content is actively being delivered. The site employs a Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR1) issued to the domain, confirming that TLS encryption is in use but offering no trust beyond standard certificate validation. Google Safe Browsing classifies the domain under “social engineering,” and VirusTotal reports that 12 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the host as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of a phishing operation. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, suggesting that at least one anti‑phishing consortium has added it to its mitigation set. Nameserver records point to a5.share-dns.com and b5.share-dns.net, which are commonly observed in fast‑flux or shared‑hosting scenarios. The front‑end stack identified by passive fingerprinting includes Bootstrap, jQuery, Swiper, Moment.js, and the Nginx web server, a combination frequently leveraged by opportunistic phishing kits. No additional intelligence such as a page title, explicit login form URL, or observed payloads has been released, leaving the exact content of the site unknown beyond its classification as a Google impersonation. Defenders should prioritize blocking any outbound connections to 103.27.177.164 at the network perimeter and add 17990.xyz to endpoint‑allow‑list exclusions. Email gateways should be configured to flag messages containing links to this domain, and user‑education campaigns should reference the domain as an example of a current Google‑related threat. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/17990.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=17990.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.
