## 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: 2026-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-21 16:07:03 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-30 09:00:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies btc-exchange-swap.com as an active Bitcoin swap scam site posing as a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange service. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing, with current risk status marked as under_investigation but confirmed active. Users who interact with this domain risk financial loss, credential theft, or malware exposure through deceptive swap offers.  

This domain was flagged using seed 3f3c83 and exhibits multiple red flags: registrant details show SOLLUTIUM LLC as the registrar, with domain creation on January 26, 2026. The site resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and currently shows 0/95 VirusTotal detections despite active phishing behavior. It holds a valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which may lull users into false trust. No known blocklists have flagged it yet, suggesting it remains under the radar.  

To mitigate risk, users should avoid visiting btc-exchange-swap.com entirely. If funds or credentials were exposed, immediately revoke permissions and report the incident to local cybercrime units. Block the domain at network and DNS levels using updated threat intelligence feeds. Monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and scan devices for malware if any interaction occurred.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0f5e81aa5b0f8c854c571df8f6e8427d
TLS cert SHA-256:      5f62875e90aca03779e365e6fb03e2200d466e8147cfcaf7d0d5d33758978820

## 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.
