## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-03 12:27:02 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-10 18:03:45 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-03 14:55:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain 18131.xyz is currently active and identified as a credential theft operation designed to harvest user login credentials, financial details, or other sensitive information. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is not associated with any legitimate brand impersonation but instead operates as a standalone malicious endpoint targeting unsuspecting users through deceptive login portals or fraudulent forms. The domain remains operational and poses a significant risk to individuals who may be lured into submitting personal or financial data.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 28, 2026, through GMO Internet, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.163. Security vendors have flagged this domain, with 8 of 95 VirusTotal engines detecting malicious activity. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic among threat actors to create a false sense of security. No legitimate business or service is known to be associated with this domain, and its creation date suggests it was established solely for fraudulent purposes. Additional indicators include the absence of historical reputation and its classification in multiple blocklists.  The current status of 18131.xyz remains active, and users are strongly advised to avoid interaction with this domain. Organizations should implement network-level blocking for the domain and its associated IP address to prevent access. Individuals who may have entered credentials on this site should immediately change passwords for all accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized activity. Security teams are recommended to review logs for connections to 103.27.177.163 and investigate any potential compromise linked to this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260703-40A1CA
TLS cert SHA-256:      d4963b34c33710b93b394f395d70cc2de1fc9eb4ca1d364d99ea41b7bc39ab5e

## 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.
