Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is xf.aafwzq.com a phishing site? Analysis of the domain xf.aafwzq.com indicates a high‑risk malicious infrastructure that is currently active. The domain was registered on May 30, 2026 through IONOS SE, a known European registrar that offers inexpensive bulk registrations. It resolves to the IPv4 address 82.165.110.163, which is the sole A record observed in DNS queries. The authoritative nameservers for the zone are ns1.testpphpcss.shop and ns2.testpphpcss.shop, both of which are atypical and suggest a privately managed DNS setup often used by threat actors to retain quick control over the domain. VirusTotal scans show that four out of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating that multiple independent engines have identified suspicious or malicious behavior associated with the host. Additionally, the domain appears on at least one external security blocklist, reinforcing the consensus that it should be treated as hostile. The blocklist PhishDestroy has already listed xf.aafwzq.com as a malicious entry, confirming that community‑driven phishing mitigation services have observed abusive activity. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information are available, leaving the exact content of the hosted site unverified. Given the combination of recent creation, dedicated nameservers, a single point of IP resolution, and multiple vendor detections, defenders should block network connections to 82.165.110.163 and add xf.aafwzq.com to local deny lists. Monitoring for any future DNS changes or additional detections is advised, as the threat actor may shift hosting or augment the infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-497E88 TLS cert SHA-256: a8306896b1966a373eb8071da9a8ad082bb61b79604c19bb4ddac266bc2dcc9c ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xf.aafwzq.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xf.aafwzq.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
