Is 18798.xyz a phishing site?

This domain, 18798.xyz, is currently classified as a generic phishing site with a high risk rating. It appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163, and an HTTP GET returns a 200 OK status, indicating that a web service is reachable at that host. VirusTotal records show that five of ninety‑one scanned scanners flagged the domain as malicious, confirming that multiple independent engines have identified suspicious behavior. The domain remains active as of the report date (19 July 2026). No additional contextual information—such as the hosting ASN, observed payloads, or targeted brands—has been disclosed, leaving uncertainty regarding the specific phishing campaign or victim profile. Defenders should treat any traffic to 18798.xyz as hostile: block the domain at perimeter firewalls, update DNS filtering policies, and monitor outbound connections for attempts to resolve or contact the associated IP address. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as threat actors may modify the site or employ additional infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      95249b01f36734eeed7d9b5a9073f0f18f930df558c0f1354a07ecedefb4c462

## 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.
