18526.xyz — Phishing Investigation Report

Analysis of the domain 18526.xyz indicates that it is currently active and serving HTTP 200 responses. The host resolves to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, which is the only resolution observed, suggesting a single‑point hosting model that can be easily blocked at the network perimeter. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is referenced in one AlienVault OTX pulse, providing concrete attribution from threat‑intel sources. Google Safe Browsing classifies the site as a social‑engineering threat, and PhishDestroy also reports it as blocked. VirusTotal has recorded 15 detections out of 91 scanned vendors, reinforcing the malicious assessment. No additional infrastructure, registration details, or payload information are available from the supplied intelligence, leaving the exact phishing campaign vector and targeted brands undefined. Defenders should add 18526.xyz and its resolved IP address to inbound and outbound filtering rules, monitor DNS queries for look‑ups to the domain, and ingest the associated blocklist and OTX indicators into their SIEM for correlation. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain is advised to capture any changes in detection status or content, and periodic review of threat‑intel feeds should be performed to track potential campaign evolution.

## 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.
