Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/1inchswap.us/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: 1inch

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Seclookup, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 7 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21
HTTP response:   429

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:10:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has classified 1inchswap.us as a medium-risk domain primarily engaged in brand impersonation targeting the popular 1inch brand. Users should exercise caution as this threat aims to deceive individuals by mimicking a trusted platform.

Supporting evidence reveals that 1inchswap.us remains active since its creation on February 21, 2026. It is flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on 7 security blocklists, reinforcing concerns about its malicious intent.

To mitigate risks, users are advised to avoid interaction with 1inchswap.us and rely on verified official sources when accessing 1inch services. Monitoring tools and security solutions should be updated to block this domain, which remains operational and continues to pose a threat.

## 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.
