Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd Nameservers: carrera.ns.cloudflare.com, trace.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-21 Page title: Success! ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 38b69c272759608ddfe936b637aed78b48cb7f4290be21fb7eb9169ee52f8555 ## 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: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-23 16:28:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-23 13:29:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 12:12:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e5505-2870-747b-bcb9-bc2bac5a8761/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7ab26870-c6e9-457b-a4e2-cd3d50256a44 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/io-swapcrypto.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.io-swapcrypto.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=io-swapcrypto.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/io-swapcrypto.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/io-swapcrypto.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:52:10 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-swapcrypto.top was identified as a brand impersonation phishing site, specifically targeting MetaMask users. This threat is classified as a crypto drainer, designed to trick victims into connecting their wallets and stealing assets. The site's page title was "Success!," a common lure to create a false sense of security. Technical indicators reveal that io-swapcrypto.top resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through PDR Ltd, with a creation date of May 21, 2026. VirusTotal flagged the domain with a score of 4 out of 95 security vendors, indicating moderate detection. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists, and its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (serial E8). Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is not explicitly provided, but the domain's presence on blocklists suggests it was flagged by some threat intelligence feeds. Currently, io-swapcrypto.top is offline, meaning the phishing site has been taken down. However, the risk remains that similar domains may appear. Users who may have interacted with this domain should revoke any wallet permissions and monitor for suspicious activity. PhishDestroy recommends always verifying URLs directly through official channels and using security tools to detect phishing attempts. No drainer kit name was identified in the available intelligence, but the site's behavior aligns with known crypto wallet drainer operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260523-3B8FA0 TLS cert SHA-256: 38b69c272759608ddfe936b637aed78b48cb7f4290be21fb7eb9169ee52f8555 ## 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-swapcrypto.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=io-swapcrypto.top 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.
