## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-07 14:22:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-14 08:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-09 04:09:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-07 14:26:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, m16k.top, is flagged as a high-risk credential theft phishing site designed to harvest sensitive user login credentials through deceptive web interfaces. Analysis indicates the threat actor employs social engineering tactics, likely impersonating legitimate services to trick victims into submitting usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with targeted credential harvesting campaigns, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations due to potential account takeovers and subsequent data breaches.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 7, 2026, through NameMart Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.163, which has been observed in prior phishing campaigns. As of the latest assessment, seven out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged m16k.top as malicious, indicating partial but growing detection coverage. The domain remains active, with no evidence of takedown or sinkholing. The SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, though this is a common tactic among phishing operators to evade basic browser warnings.  Mitigation against this credential theft threat requires a multi-layered approach. Network-level protections should include blocking the domain m16k.top and its resolving IP 103.27.177.163 across firewalls, DNS filters, and web proxies. Endpoint security solutions should be configured to detect and prevent access to the domain, leveraging the existing seven vendor detections as a baseline for signature updates. User awareness training must emphasize the risks of entering credentials on unverified sites, particularly those with unusual top-level domains or mismatched SSL certificates. Organizations are advised to enforce strict password policies, mandate multi-factor authentication, and monitor for anomalous login attempts that may indicate compromised credentials.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       abd1eb812e495d993fb310ca906ea605

## 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.
