518.world Fake Credential Harvesting Alert

The domain 518.world was observed on July 19, 2026 and classified as a high‑risk generic phishing site. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 82.109.253.113, which returns HTTP 200 responses, indicating an active web server. The domain is currently listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal reports that 12 of 91 scanners label the domain as malicious, providing additional confirmation of its hostile nature. No further intelligence such as registrar details, hosting provider, or targeted brand has been disclosed, so the precise phishing campaign vector remains unknown. Defenders should immediately add 518.world and its associated IP address to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor network traffic for connections to the host, and ensure that any existing URL filtering solutions include the domain. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the threat remains active and may evolve to target additional services or users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1ecc4b0ebcb786d5f2739635d79468af
TLS cert SHA-256:      f96f533aaffe84f8bfae1024559782ce9008cb027f5de12e308e763fc4c46704

## 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.
