Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain hozuza.xyz is assessed as an elevated risk with a specific threat type of generic phishing. The domain's page title, 'Messenger,' suggests an attempt to impersonate a well-known brand or service, potentially leading users to believe they are accessing a legitimate messaging platform. Technical analysis of hozuza.xyz reveals that it resolves to the IP address 104.21.3.124. On VirusTotal, 13 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, indicating a moderate level of suspicion among security experts. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar that has been associated with various suspicious and malicious activities in the past. The SSL certificate for hozuza.xyz is issued by Google Trust Services, which could be an attempt to appear more legitimate to users. The domain was created on June 28, 2026, which is relatively recent, suggesting it may be part of a new or ongoing campaign. While not universally blacklisted, the domain's presence on multiple blocklists and the low trust score from VirusTotal are significant indicators of its potential misuse. To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing from hozuza.xyz, users are advised to avoid clicking on links or entering personal information on any pages accessed through this domain. Network administrators should consider adding hozuza.xyz to their DNS blocklists to prevent access from within their networks. Additionally, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all online accounts can help protect against credential theft, even if a user inadvertently provides their login details to a phishing site. Regular security awareness training for employees and users can also help in recognizing and reporting such threats, reducing the likelihood of successful phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-935DAC Favicon MD5: 1635ed0e8715c40d4bed875b7494a93a TLS cert SHA-256: ae4af10e3ad0c448c283e346844b5872bd9fe1c845231da49a82287b4db30286 ## 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 (volunteer 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hozuza.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hozuza.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
