Domain eventually taken down after 1 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-05-30 03:28:09 UTC Days since first notice: 29 (eventually taken down) ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ltcswap.finance, is flagged as a generic phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it impersonates a Litecoin (LTC) exchange platform, promoting itself under the false pretense of 'No KYC No AML' services with the page title 'LTC Swap No KYC No AML — Best Anonymous Crypto Exchange 2026 | LTCSwap.' The site likely employs a wallet-draining kit or credential-harvesting mechanism to compromise user funds and sensitive information, a common tactic in crypto-focused phishing operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and utilizes Cloudflare for hosting and performance optimization, including Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3 protocol support. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is detected by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate but not universal detection. No creation date is available in the provided data, but its recent takedown suggests a short operational lifespan typical of phishing domains. As of the latest assessment, ltcswap.finance has been taken offline, likely following detection and reporting by security systems. However, the risk of reemergence under a similar domain or IP infrastructure remains elevated. Users who interacted with the site should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions, rotate credentials for associated accounts, and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Organizations should update blocklists to include the domain and IP, while monitoring for related infrastructure reuse. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1780100885-ltcswap.finance Favicon MD5: c4daaac8f3ed3ca68a3f5e14c3089734 TLS cert SHA-256: 6c0af6eaa74cc3829ca0f17931ca995d5add0f423c430eb066a349e478209f27 ## 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/ltcswap.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ltcswap.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.
