## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      168.76.228.170 (HK, Hong Kong)
ASN:             AS137951 ASLINE LIMITED
Hosting org:     Free State Education Department
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

853by.com Generic Phishing Site – High Risk Alert

Analysis indicates that the domain 853by.com remains active as of 19 July 2026. HTTP requests to the host return a 200 OK status, confirming that a web service is currently operational. The site is listed on a single public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal scans show that three of ninety‑one vendor engines have generated detections for the domain, reinforcing its classification as a generic phishing infrastructure. No additional metadata such as registrar, ASN, or hosting IP addresses is available in the current intelligence set, and the specific brand or credential‑harvesting technique employed by the site has not been disclosed. Consequently, the precise scope of the campaign and its intended victims remain uncertain. Defenders are advised to add 853by.com to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS‑level filtering, and monitor outbound connections for any attempts to resolve or contact the domain. Continuous re‑evaluation of threat intelligence feeds, including periodic VirusTotal rescans, is recommended to capture any changes in detection rates or additional indicators of compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       658a9bd1bdda0b5de447794cdd5e93d0

## 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.
