18140.xyz Safety Check — Microsoft 365 Phishing Detected

This domain, 18140.xyz, is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting Microsoft 365 credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to IP 103.27.177.164 and uses nameservers a7.share-dns.com and b7.share-dns.net, a pattern observed in other phishing campaigns leveraging low-cost DNS providers. The domain was registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, a registrar frequently associated with newly spun-up malicious infrastructure. As of July 19, 2026, the site returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating it is operational and serving content. Nine of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, though the exact nature of the phishing kit or payload is not yet confirmed. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and implement immediate blocking at the DNS and network perimeter levels. Given its presence on one security blocklist and detection by PhishDestroy, further monitoring for related infrastructure (e.g., shared IPs, nameservers, or registration patterns) is recommended to identify potential campaign expansion. The domain’s content has not been fully analysed, so specific brand impersonation beyond the Microsoft 365 targeting classification should not be assumed without additional evidence.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      21dbb82df5ebd86c78f5402e8216dc6fc91cef4ee6ee80e2d5d250237a56504d

## 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.
