# PhishDestroy threat dossier — changelly-swap.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 04:40:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/changelly-swap.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: UPS ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 178.16.53.154 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: ASAS202412 OMEGATECH-AS Omegatech LTD, SC Hosting org: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: ns71.cloudns.net, ns72.cloudns.com, ns73.cloudns.net, ns74.cloudns.uk Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2027-06-24 Page title: USDT Card Hub: spend stablecoins, swap USDT, and prepare card top-ups HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1e8664ef1243329eade45867daecc489a70c6cb1d7887a3aee76f4d4cb7a395d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.changelly-swap.xyz ## 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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 14:27:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3764-b7fe-726e-9f5b-c467fcc19b35/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/changelly-swap.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.changelly-swap.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=changelly-swap.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/changelly-swap.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/changelly-swap.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:00:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is assessed as high risk due to its confirmed status as a generic phishing site specifically designed to impersonate legitimate cryptocurrency exchange brands and target users seeking stablecoin services. The page title 'USDT Card Hub: spend stablecoins, swap USDT, and prepare card top-ups' indicates an attempt to lure victims into providing sensitive financial information or connecting cryptocurrency wallets under the guise of a legitimate card service platform. Technical analysis reveals several critical indicators. The domain was created on June 24, 2026, and is registered through Spaceship, Inc., a registrar known for low-cost domain registrations often exploited by threat actors. It resolves to IP address 178.16.53.154, which may host additional malicious domains. VirusTotal detection shows only 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain, representing a low detection rate that allows the site to remain operational and evade most security filters. The domain is currently active with no blocklist entries observed in available intelligence, further increasing its risk profile. Mitigation steps specific to this cryptocurrency brand impersonation threat include: users should verify domain authenticity by checking official company websites for correct URLs before entering any credentials or wallet information; never connect cryptocurrency wallets to unknown third-party sites; enable two-factor authentication on all exchange accounts; report the domain to relevant cybersecurity authorities and the registrar Spaceship, Inc. for takedown; and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions if any interaction has occurred. Organizations should add this domain to blocklists and educate users about verifying exchange URLs.

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/changelly-swap.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=changelly-swap.xyz 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.
