Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This assessment rates xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa227.com as a high-risk domain due to its involvement in credential theft schemes. The domain is currently active and is being used to collect sensitive user information via deceptive tactics. The nature of the threat represents a significant risk to users who may unknowingly submit their credentials, leading to potential unauthorized access or identity compromise. Technical analysis confirms several concerning indicators. The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. and created on April 23, 2026, indicating recent establishment, often typical of malicious campaigns. VirusTotal reports that 18 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, a substantial indicator of consensus among security engines. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.166.197, and it appears on at least one known security blocklist. The observed page title 'welcome！' does not provide a legitimate brand context, further supporting the deceptive intent of the site. The combination of a high VirusTotal detection rate and blocklist appearance elevates the overall threat level. Mitigation steps include immediately blocking access to xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa227.com at the network and endpoint levels to prevent credential compromise. Security teams should monitor for any attempts to access this domain within their environment and educate users about the risks of entering credentials on unfamiliar or suspicious sites. Organizations are advised to update threat intelligence feeds to include this domain and related infrastructure, and to perform regular reviews of authentication logs for signs of unauthorized access linked to credential theft campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-3D665B Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a65eebf39ee240f7f5e95dac81564db79e26e26ff59ee365c1ee84454754b505 ## 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/xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa227.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa227.com 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.
