# PhishDestroy threat dossier — io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 23:39:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Official Site®® | Simpleswap Exchange™ ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:22:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com has been identified as a phishing site specifically designed to impersonate Simpleswap Exchange, a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates this is a brand impersonation threat targeting users seeking to access Simpleswap's services, likely with the intent to harvest credentials or facilitate unauthorized transactions. The site is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it may have been operational for a limited period. Infrastructure analysis reveals this domain was flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 08, 2026, an unusually future-dated entry that may suggest falsified registration data or a placeholder. It appears on three security blocklists: PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The site employed a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic among phishing domains to appear legitimate. Detected technologies include Wix hosting, React, Google Cloud infrastructure, RequireJS, Lodash, HSTS, and Google Cloud CDN, with HTTP/3 support. The page title, 'Official Site®® | Simpleswap Exchange™,' reinforces the brand impersonation theme, using registered trademark symbols to deceive users. The domain's current offline status reduces immediate risk, though historical activity and infrastructure patterns suggest potential for reemergence under a similar or altered domain. Organizations and users are advised to block access to io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com at the network level and monitor for related domains using the same hosting provider or infrastructure. Security teams should review logs for connections to this domain, particularly from systems accessing cryptocurrency services. End users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official communications from Simpleswap Exchange and avoid interacting with unofficial or unsolicited links. Future vigilance is recommended, as phishing campaigns often reuse infrastructure or registration patterns. ## 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/io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=io-simplswep-apps.wixstudio.com 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.
