18166.xyz — Phishing Investigation Report

Domain 18166.xyz was registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com. The authoritative name servers are a12.share-dns.com and b12.share-dns.net, which are commonly used by transient hosting services. A request to the host returns HTTP 200, indicating that the web service is currently reachable. Google Safe Browsing classifies the site as a social engineering threat, and VirusTotal reports that 15 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, confirming a consensus of malicious intent. The domain is listed on a single public blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation platform, demonstrating that at least one industry‑wide sinkhole is aware of its activity. The threat is labeled as generic phishing and the risk level is high; the campaign remains active as of the report date. No additional technical artifacts such as IP addresses, malware hashes, or observed payloads have been released, leaving the full scope of the infrastructure unknown. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, update URL reputation feeds, and monitor network traffic for connections to the listed name servers. Further analysis of the hosted content and any associated command‑and‑control endpoints is recommended to improve detection and attribution.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6cdef2f58d755294375667ebadd8bcbb664bf6fff97785bf513a3af4f7b9bf33

## 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.
