No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 13:00:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-23 20:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-19 19:39:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is 18517.xyz a phishing site? This domain, 18517.xyz, is currently active and returns HTTP 200 responses. It resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163, which is listed by PhishDestroy as a malicious host. Google Safe Browsing has flagged the domain for social engineering, indicating it is used to lure victims. VirusTotal records show that 13 of 91 security vendors have classified the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. No public page content, titles, or login forms have been disclosed, so the exact phishing lure and target brand remain unknown. The limited evidence suggests a generic phishing infrastructure rather than a targeted campaign. The risk rating is marked as high, and the domain appears on at least one external blocklist, confirming its malicious reputation. Because the site returns a successful HTTP 200 status, it can host malicious pages without immediate error. The presence on multiple intelligence sources suggests coordination among threat actors to reuse the same hosting infrastructure. While the current snapshot does not reveal the specific phishing template, the combination of Google Safe Browsing social‑engineering flag and multi‑vendor detections provides sufficient confidence for immediate mitigation. Defenders should block 18517.xyz at network perimeters, add the associated IP to threat‑intel feeds, and monitor DNS queries for further resolution attempts. Organizations should update endpoint and email security policies to treat any communication referencing 18517.xyz as malicious, and security teams should consider sinkholing the IP address 103.27.177.163 to disrupt potential traffic. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f64ae6e1c387ec05b8e6e836c120e4204d7a2c8956fbda78347094d8a58e069f ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/18517.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=18517.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
