# PhishDestroy threat dossier — web160526-a1.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-17 20:39:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/web160526-a1.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE THREAT — multiple warning signs Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/95 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 35.168.40.172 (US, Ashburn) ASN: AS14618 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (us-east-1) 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.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active credential theft campaign impersonating a web portal via domain web160526-a1.xyz. This infrastructure is designed to harvest user login credentials under the guise of a legitimate service, exposing victims to direct account compromise. This domain, registered on May 16, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, resolves to IP address 35.168.40.172 and is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 out of 95 detection engines flagged the domain, indicating low detection coverage despite its malicious intent. Google Safe Browsing has already classified the site under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, confirming early suspicious classification. The combination of recent registration, lack of AV coverage, and active blocklisting signals emerging threat activity. If you accessed web160526-a1.xyz or entered credentials, immediately change passwords on all related accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Run a full antivirus scan on your device. Do not re-enter any data on this domain. Report the site to your security provider and consider blocking both the domain and IP 35.168.40.172 to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260517-099A3A Favicon MD5: 902bacdcf9631d11935484151497a89e TLS cert SHA-256: 572cb44d2807262fa7b280fe1fb7eb0bc1763e63965fbc01dd9d510a518b0b28 ## 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/web160526-a1.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web160526-a1.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.
