## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:18:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cryptoswap.digital as a low-risk phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users with a fake crypto swap site titled "CryptoSwap - Secure & Fast Crypto Swaps." The domain aims to deceive users seeking legitimate crypto exchange services.

The domain resolves to IP 199.36.158.100 and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags it by one out of 95 security vendors. Registration details are unavailable, which limits attribution. The infrastructure supports active phishing campaigns.

Currently active, cryptoswap.digital poses ongoing risk to uninformed users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding this domain and using trusted crypto platforms. Users should report suspicious activity and maintain updated security tools to mitigate phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       ea465ac6b69a037dc49fda6ab1c585f95725091eff4515df61db91d9d3c5e54e
TLS cert SHA-256:      b94752dbe01f8a5bf7aaeed60223ea4c3b996c2ea7af3c359380267cf3ffe490

## 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.
