No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-20 23:39:59 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:28:08 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c7d69-fcad-74d8-bf84-f3b77f6ca150/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8c814f96-e0e2-4884-be0f-87dce68b310f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/api.fairswap.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.api.fairswap.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=api.fairswap.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/api.fairswap.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/api.fairswap.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:52:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies api.fairswap.finance as a low-risk generic phishing threat, designed to mimic a legitimate multi-chain swap service. Despite its low threat level, phishing campaigns like this can lead to credential theft or unauthorized access, underscoring the importance of vigilance when engaging with financial platforms. The domain api.fairswap.finance was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 187.77.209.137. It was found on one security blocklist and flagged by a single VirusTotal vendor. The domain registration source is identified as a dead domain, and the site is currently taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should avoid visiting or interacting with api.fairswap.finance or any related links. Always verify web addresses carefully and use official channels for financial transactions. Maintaining updated endpoint security and reporting suspicious domains can help prevent exposure to phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260220-4BD4B9 ## 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/api.fairswap.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api.fairswap.finance 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.
