slate16.com — Generic Phishing Investigation

Analysis of slate16.com indicates that the domain was registered on 22 June 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is hosted on Cloudflare name servers aisha.ns.cloudflare.com and tadeo.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 188.114.97.3. The domain is currently active and appears on a single security blocklist. It has been reported to PhishDestroy and is flagged by VirusTotal, where 7 of 95 scanning engines have generated detections. The limited detection count suggests that the malicious payload or phishing landing page may be newly deployed or employing techniques that evade many scanners. No additional infrastructure such as ASN or hosting provider beyond the Cloudflare resolver is observable from the available data. The precise content and target of the phishing campaign remain unverified, as no page‑level analysis is provided. Defensive operators should block or sinkhole the resolved IP address, add slate16.com to domain‑based deny lists, and monitor for related look‑alike registrations. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and incorporation of the domain into email and web gateway filters are recommended to mitigate potential credential harvesting attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260720-D20406
TLS cert SHA-256:      be1f9c9dd6e6c84ca9c1ef8d8f0bbbcda5ece454f08b674ad479fff1fb2c337b

## 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.
