18049.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis indicates that 18049.xyz is currently hosting a phishing operation. The domain resolves to IP 103.27.177.164 and returns HTTP 200, confirming an active web server. It has been listed by PhishDestroy and appears on one public blocklist. VirusTotal reports 17 of 91 scanners flagging the domain, reinforcing its malicious classification. No page title, targeted brand, or malware kit information is available, so the precise lure and credential‑capture technique remain unknown. The infrastructure appears limited to a single IP address, suggesting a low‑cost hosting setup that can be rapidly altered. Defenders should immediately block both inbound and outbound traffic to 18049.xyz and its resolved IP, add the domain to internal DNS deny lists, and incorporate it into web‑filtering rules. Continuous monitoring of the IP for additional services is advised, as the operator may pivot to other hosts. Because the site remains active, threat‑hunting teams should retain the indicator in ongoing investigations and correlate any authentication attempts against corporate accounts with this domain.

## 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.
