Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa242.com, is currently flagged as a credential phishing endpoint targeting users through fraudulent login interfaces. Analysis confirms the domain remains active and is categorized under generic_phishing with a high-risk assessment. No specific brand impersonation has been identified, though the site employs standard phishing tactics to harvest user credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 23, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 172.67.174.59. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal indicate 19 of 95 engines have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and its page title, "welcome!", suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate landing pages. The registration date is notably in the future, which may indicate an attempt to evade temporal-based reputation checks. Current status confirms the domain remains operational, posing an ongoing threat to users. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP (172.67.174.59) at the network perimeter. Endpoint protection solutions should be updated to include this domain in deny lists. Users who may have interacted with the site should reset credentials immediately and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams are encouraged to review logs for connections to the domain or IP to assess potential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-587385 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: b0cd0eda7331ab1619b02736dabe7d916a7564abafed3e09ab53cc0d17132348 ## 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.hgsa242.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xbt8x82irz1kbcyq.hgsa242.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.
