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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 14:59:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:11:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:45:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed082-ea4f-7533-9ef5-697f4ab56c2c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fdc1bfeb-64da-452e-aaed-c21e62971f56 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pumpxchange.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pumpxchange.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pumpxchange.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pumpxchange.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pumpxchange.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:41:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pumpxchange.wixstudio.com has been identified as a fraudulent crypto exchange platform impersonating PumpSwap, a legitimate cryptocurrency trading service. Analysis indicates this site is designed to deceive users into depositing digital assets under the pretense of trading, likely functioning as a crypto drainer to siphon funds. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively targeting unsuspecting victims seeking PumpSwap services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to appear legitimate. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on December 17, 2016, though its malicious use appears to be recent. Security vendors have flagged this domain, with 4 out of 95 VirusTotal engines detecting it as malicious. Additionally, it appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The page title, PumpSwap® Exchange™, directly mimics the branding of the legitimate PumpSwap platform, reinforcing its deceptive intent. Given the domain's current offline status, it may be undergoing maintenance or evasion tactics to avoid detection. However, the existing indicators—such as the blocklist presence, VirusTotal detections, and brand impersonation—confirm its malicious nature. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any associated links. Organizations should update security filters to block the domain and IP address, monitor for similar impersonation attempts, and educate users on verifying legitimate crypto exchange platforms before engaging in transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-AFB7FE Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/pumpxchange.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pumpxchange.wixstudio.com 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.
