Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 18551.xyz used for BET365 credential theft Analysis of the domain 18551.xyz, observed on 21 July 2026, indicates that it is actively hosting a phishing page titled “welcome‑BET365”. The domain was registered on 14 June 2026 through GMO Internet, Inc. and is served by the four nameservers a.share‑dns.com, a8.share‑dns.com, b.share‑dns.net and b8.share‑dns.net. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.164, which remains reachable at the time of analysis. VirusTotal reports that 11 of 95 scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious, confirming a consensus of detection across multiple AV engines. The 11/95 detection ratio reflects a moderate but notable level of malicious confidence among scanning engines, indicating that the site exhibits characteristics commonly associated with credential‑stealing operations. The domain is listed on at least one public security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing its classification as a high‑risk phishing infrastructure. The available evidence does not disclose the underlying hosting provider, ASN, or geographical location of the IP address, and no SSL certificate details have been observed. Consequently, the full scope of the command‑and‑control infrastructure remains uncertain. The page title suggests an attempt to lure victims into providing credentials related to the BET365 betting platform, but the actual content of the landing page has not been publicly captured, leaving the exact credential‑harvesting mechanism unverified. Further investigation is required to determine whether the site employs additional obfuscation techniques such as URL shorteners or redirects, as no such artifacts have been observed in the current dataset. Defenders should add 18551.xyz to local and network‑level blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers, and enforce outbound traffic filtering to the IP 103.27.177.164. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260721-A69F7E TLS cert SHA-256: 033840ed33e39009b2ea945afef07ea42d097ae0f3ea752bbeb2a50cacd2be50 ## 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/18551.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=18551.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.
