# PhishDestroy threat dossier — avanswift.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 07:53:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/avanswift.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: avalanche (and: binance, chainlink, ethereum, google, lido) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.23.150.86 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: dns53.zenoxserver.com, dns54.zenoxserver.com Registered: 2023-12-12 Expires: 2026-12-12 Page title: Avanswift Investment Company ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-04-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 021b22f6a081e4542414085b2ac6398ecd6dc089d07739541448ad8b258bc0eb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - avanswift.com.eoupartners.com - www.avanswift.com.eoupartners.com ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2023-12-12 (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) First reported: 2025-10-19 08:10:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 03:14:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0199fb84-b61e-70ac-9f3c-27670d73e492/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/avanswift.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.avanswift.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=avanswift.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/avanswift.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/avanswift.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 18:29:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies avanswift.com as a domain involved in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Avalanche brand, and does not appear to be utilizing a known drainer kit. The domain was flagged due to its potential to deceive users, with a VirusTotal score of 2/95, registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, resolving to IP 198.23.150.86, created on December 12, 2023, and currently has an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, while being listed on 1 security blocklist and found in 1 threat intelligence pulse. The domain's technical indicators suggest a potentially malicious intent, with its registration and resolving IP address being tracked by security vendors, and its relatively recent creation date raises concerns about its legitimacy, while its presence on a security blocklist and a threat intelligence pulse indicates a level of risk associated with it. The current status of avanswift.com is offline, which may be the result of response actions taken by security teams, however, the remaining risk to users cannot be fully mitigated until all related infrastructure is dismantled, and users are advised to remain cautious when encountering similar domains, as the impersonation of the Avalanche brand may still be attempted through other means, thus it is crucial for users to verify the authenticity of websites before interacting with them, especially those related to financial transactions or sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 8936fd80b5fd6fad98794ab928445643189fdc1f41da5645ace234404703b8af TLS cert SHA-256: 021b22f6a081e4542414085b2ac6398ecd6dc089d07739541448ad8b258bc0eb ## 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/avanswift.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=avanswift.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.
