## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:10:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified claim.switchboard.foundation as a potential crypto drainer domain targeting users with deceptive $SWTCH airdrop claims. This threat is significant due to the risk of unauthorized crypto asset theft.

The domain was registered on May 18, 2022, via NameCheap, Inc. It resolves to IP address 216.150.1.1 and has appeared on one security blocklist. Despite this, VirusTotal scans show zero detections, and the site is currently offline.

Users are advised to remain cautious with unsolicited crypto airdrop offers, avoid interacting with suspicious domains, and report any unusual activity to their security teams. Verification through trusted sources is essential to prevent potential asset loss.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       0ea11df56df1f983c4260d8bf55f06af

## 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.
