# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polkaswap2.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-31 04:14:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polkaswap2.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Ermes Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a00:fb01:400:200:5000:61ff:fe45:43ab (CH, Zürich) ASN: ASAS24951 EVERYWARE-NET EveryWare AG, CH Hosting org: AS24951 EveryWare AG Nameservers: ["dns2.registrar-servers.com", "dns1.registrar-servers.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Polkaswap — The DEX for the Interoperable Future. ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9737701c4a41d93dc2117e43fb908561807892efb29ff7bc1ab32c9e40333703 ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-31 05:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 12:09:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019cb2ac-e695-733f-ba63-a262cdd53959/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polkaswap2.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polkaswap2.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polkaswap2.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polkaswap2.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polkaswap2.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 17:04:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies polkaswap2.io as a generic phishing domain primarily targeting users with deceptive tactics. Classified under low risk, the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, suggesting recent deployment aimed at exploiting unsuspecting victims by mimicking legitimate services. Technical indicators reveal that polkaswap2.io performs poorly in PageSpeed tests, scoring 37/100, consistent with hastily constructed phishing sites. It appears on six separate security blocklists, underscoring its suspicious nature despite minimal detection by VirusTotal with only one vendor flagging it out of 95. These factors collectively point to a potentially emerging threat leveraging basic infrastructure to avoid widespread detection. Currently, polkaswap2.io remains active. PhishDestroy advises continued monitoring and recommends caution when interacting with this domain. Users and security systems are urged to maintain vigilance, as the domain’s persistence on blocklists indicates ongoing malicious intent and potential risk to user security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c1b4d3e7c8d7a66b6830fa1d30a68d9d TLS cert SHA-256: 9737701c4a41d93dc2117e43fb908561807892efb29ff7bc1ab32c9e40333703 ## 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/polkaswap2.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polkaswap2.io 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.
