Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies flakeswap.finance as a live generic phishing campaign impersonating the legitimate Flake Protocol. This fraudulent platform mimics fast cross-chain swaps under the guise of 'Flake Protocol | Fast Cross-Chain Swap' to deceive cryptocurrency users into connecting wallets and surrendering assets. The domain is actively serving a malicious interface intended to harvest private keys and initiate unauthorized transfers. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating a presently undetected threat on most detection platforms. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registrar details remain unverified due to privacy protection, but the infrastructure is hosted on a bulletproof hosting provider in the Cloudflare network. Trust scores from threat intelligence feeds are critically low, with multiple domain age and reputation engines already marking it as malicious. The page continues to load the fake protocol page and remains accessible with no active takedown at this time. The threat is currently active and expanding, targeting users searching for cross-chain swap services. PhishDestroy strongly advises users to immediately cease any interaction with flakeswap.finance and report the domain to their security teams or via abuse channels. Block the IP 188.114.96.3 at the firewall and network perimeter. Validate any DeFi platform by checking official social media and verified domains only. Wallet connections to unknown domains must be avoided entirely. Monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized transfers and revoke any suspicious permissions via blockchain explorers like Etherscan or BscScan. Exercise extreme caution when interacting with DeFi platforms and always use hardware wallets with transaction approvals disabled on untrusted sites. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c33cd55ce4620292f59f1808dd1b85f0 TLS cert SHA-256: fde9142e16ad9830960a529b624da2281cb0a3788a685a5ee11c0498e4ae2251 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flakeswap.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flakeswap.finance 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
