18042.xyz Generic Phishing Page Confirmed

Analysis of the domain 18042.xyz as of July 19, 2026, indicates active phishing infrastructure. The domain is flagged by 15 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, with Google Safe Browsing classifying it as a social engineering threat. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.163 and is currently operational, returning an HTTP 200 status. The domain is registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com and uses nameservers a9.share-dns.com and b9.share-dns.net. It appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which has marked it as malicious.  No specific brand impersonation or phishing kit has been confirmed at this time, and the exact content of the page remains unanalyzed. The domain exhibits characteristics typical of generic phishing campaigns, including the use of shared DNS infrastructure and a recently observed active status. Defenders are advised to block traffic to 18042.xyz and its associated IP address, monitor for related indicators of compromise, and treat any interaction with the domain as high-risk. Further investigation into the site's content and potential targets is recommended to determine the precise nature of the 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.
