Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

cowswap.org is a phishing domain that impersonates a cryptocurrency trading service. The site, claiming to be CoW Swap, has been flagged for malicious activity, receiving a VirusTotal score of 15/95. Scamadviser rates it as very likely unsafe with a trust score of just 1, citing concerns about the owner's hidden identity and low visitor traffic.

Registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, this domain is relatively new at 71 days old and operates on the IP address 172.67.212.70. The domain has a total of 4 blocklist entries and exhibits warning signs including the use of a paid WHOIS privacy service. Although its SSL certificate is valid, the overall infrastructure raises red flags, especially given its association with the Angel Drainer type, indicating it may be designed to extract funds from unsuspecting users.

Currently, cowswap.org is still active, and PhishDestroy has taken measures by reporting it and continues to monitor its activities to prevent further exploitation of users seeking legitimate cryptocurrency services.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
