## 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: 2026-06-18 16:55:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies plainswap.app as a domain with an elevated risk level due to its involvement in generic phishing, a specific threat type that aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. 

 This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on 3 security blocklists, which raises concerns about its legitimacy, considering it was registered through Namecheap Inc. and resolves to the IP address 172.67.174.254, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E8, and a creation date of March 12, 2026. 

 To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing, users should be cautious when interacting with plainswap.app, avoiding any attempts to enter sensitive information, and instead, verify the authenticity of the website through trusted channels, such as official social media accounts or direct contact with the company's support team, and consider using reputable cryptocurrency exchange platforms that have a proven track record of security and trustworthiness.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260518-8D8EBB
Favicon MD5:       32d26e007118e0e07887b133df8543e6
TLS cert SHA-256:      ffc1900bb3d4931e1dd7ba78414ba2faf1a43edcb258ef7ef507551e23564066

## 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.
