76998.xyz — Generic Phishing Investigation

Analysis of the domain 76998.xyz as of July 19 2026 indicates that it is currently active and serving HTTP responses with a 200 status code. The site has been classified by multiple security services as a generic phishing host; Google Safe Browsing lists it under social engineering, and 17 of 91 vendors on VirusTotal have issued detections. It is present on one public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. No additional metadata such as hosting ASN, geographic location, or page content has been disclosed, so the underlying infrastructure and the specific credential‑stealing tactics remain unknown. Defenders should add 76998.xyz to outbound and inbound filtering rules, ensure that web proxies and DNS resolvers block the domain, and monitor for any traffic spikes that could indicate exploitation attempts. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the threat actor may modify the site or relocate to new domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b584605d05d764497bd9313e746c5919deee4956924fbb692dad29401aabb3be

## 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.
