18889.xyz Phishing Site Detected

Analysis indicates that the domain 18889.xyz is currently active and returns HTTP 200 responses. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy service, confirming its association with phishing activity. VirusTotal records show the domain has been scanned by 95 security vendors, none of which reported a detection at the time of analysis; this lack of detections does not imply benign intent and should be interpreted in the context of other indicators. No public evidence has been provided regarding the specific brand or service being spoofed, and the landing page content has not been publicly disclosed, leaving the exact phishing lure undefined. Defenders should treat the domain as hostile and consider immediate preventive actions: add 18889.xyz to DNS and proxy blocklists, monitor outbound traffic for connections to the domain, and incorporate it into email filtering rules that block URLs pointing to the domain. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as future scans or threat‑intel feeds may reveal additional payloads or victim‑targeting details.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      cf80fb05b08abc27a4d60b16c764433d4b5910675e8f4408e4fbdc3ad22806b8

## 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.
