## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 02:05:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, orca-swap.net, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat targeting Orca, a decentralized exchange platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate token swap interfaces, presenting itself as "Orca Swap — Fast, Secure, Non-Custodial Token Swaps" to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets. The objective appears to be unauthorized fund extraction through wallet drainer scripts, a common tactic in cryptocurrency phishing campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 06, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. At the time of assessment, the domain exhibited 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, suggesting evasion of initial automated detection mechanisms. However, it was identified in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX and appeared on 3 security blocklists. The site employed Cloudflare for hosting, utilizing HTTP/3 and HSTS, which may have been leveraged to obscure malicious activity and enhance perceived legitimacy. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, further corroborating its malicious classification.  The domain is currently offline, having been taken down following its inclusion on multiple blocklists and proactive blocking by wallet security mechanisms. Despite its inactive status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site prior to its removal. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions and implement additional verification steps for decentralized finance platforms. The domain’s registration date and hosting infrastructure suggest a planned, short-lived operation typical of targeted phishing campaigns in the cryptocurrency sector.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71

## 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 (operator 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.
