18052.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site

The domain 18052.xyz is currently listed as an active phishing destination. Network probes show that the hostname resolves to the single IPv4 address 103.27.177.163, which returns HTTP 200 responses. The site has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist and appears on an additional security blocklist, indicating that at least two independent threat‑sharing feeds consider it malicious. VirusTotal scans have returned detections from 18 of 91 antivirus engines, providing further confirmation of malicious intent. No further infrastructure details such as ASN, hosting provider, or geographic location are disclosed in the available data. The limited public evidence suggests the domain is being used to host a generic phishing campaign, but the exact payload, targeted brand, or lure technique has not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block DNS resolution to 18052.xyz and any outbound connections to 103.27.177.163 at the network perimeter. Email security gateways should be updated to flag URLs containing the .xyz top‑level domain when used in conjunction with suspicious content. Continuous monitoring of threat‑intel feeds for additional indicators of compromise is recommended, as the campaign may evolve or expand to new hosting infrastructure.

## 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.
