# PhishDestroy threat dossier — r16c.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 11:42:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/r16c.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: gambling Targeted brand: Bet365 ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 19/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 45.196.247.189 (HK, Hong Kong) ASN: ASAS140224 NEBULA, US Hosting org: AS140224 Nebula Global LLC Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["NS1.1111343.COM", "NS2.1111343.COM", "NS3.1111343.COM", "NS4.1111343.COM"] Registered: 2025-10-02 Page title: welcome-BET365 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R13 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-10-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:23:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-10 05:02:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bbf50-7bf7-7016-be45-47130b823ab2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/r16c.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.r16c.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=r16c.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/r16c.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/r16c.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:54:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, r16c.xyz, poses a significant brand impersonation threat by mimicking Bet365, a well-known online betting platform. Visitors to this site risk exposure to credential theft, unauthorized account access, or financial fraud, as the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Bet365 service. The page title, 'welcome-BET365,' further reinforces this deception by closely resembling the authentic branding, increasing the likelihood of successful fraud attempts. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on October 2, 2025, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. It resolved to the IP address 45.196.247.189, hosted under AS140224 (Nebula Global LLC) in Hong Kong, a network frequently linked to malicious activity. Security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, with 19 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal detecting it as a threat. Additionally, it appears on one security blocklist, and its SSL certificate, labeled 'R13,' lacks the credibility of trusted certificates, further signaling its fraudulent nature. If you or someone you know visited r16c.xyz, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further data transmission. Run a full antivirus scan to detect and remove any malware or unauthorized access tools. Change passwords for Bet365 and any other accounts where the same credentials were used, enabling multi-factor authentication where possible. Monitor financial statements and account activity for unauthorized transactions, and report any suspicious activity to the legitimate service provider. Users should also clear browser caches and cookies to eliminate residual tracking data from the fraudulent site. ## 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/r16c.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=r16c.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.
