# PhishDestroy threat dossier — icpswap.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 07:38:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/icpswap.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.185.114 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc Nameservers: ["ns100.webnic.cc", "ns101.webnic.cc"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: ICPSwap - Decentralized Token Exchange Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-06 02:37:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c25e8-37b4-732b-81b0-e5938f7c927b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/icpswap.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.icpswap.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=icpswap.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/icpswap.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/icpswap.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:52:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies icpswap.live as an active generic phishing domain impersonating a decentralized token exchange platform branded as ICPSwap. The domain's deceptive page title attempts to lure users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate cryptocurrency swapping service, exposing them to potential credential theft or token loss. Technically, the domain icpswap.live resolves to the IP address 172.67.185.114 and is currently listed on three separate security blocklists, indicating that it has been flagged by multiple threat intelligence sources. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, with minimal detection on VirusTotal, where only one out of ninety-five security vendors flagged it. Despite this low detection rate, combined blocklist presence underlines a credible risk. The site’s infrastructure and hosting characteristics suggest it is designed to mimic decentralized exchange interfaces to trick users. Currently, icpswap.live remains active and accessible on the web, continuing to pose a low-level phishing threat. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting or interacting with this domain. PhishDestroy recommends verifying all URLs carefully and using trusted, official platforms for cryptocurrency transactions. Blocking and monitoring this domain within security defenses can help prevent potential compromise or asset theft associated with this phishing campaign. ## 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/icpswap.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=icpswap.live 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.
