## INFRASTRUCTURE

Page title:      www.raydium.io-swap.cc

## 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: 2026-03-03 15:52:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies raydium.io-swap.cc as a medium-risk generic phishing domain designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency swap platforms. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and is associated with fraudulent activity aimed at harvesting sensitive user credentials and digital assets. Due to its misleading structure referencing 'raydium.io,' a well-known decentralized exchange, this domain posed a particular threat to crypto users seeking swap services.

Technical investigation reveals the domain was flagged on one security blocklist and detected by 5 out of 95 security vendors according to VirusTotal data. Although the domain was registered through a now-defunct Dead domain registrar, its infrastructure supported phishing operations during its active period. The domain’s URL construction and phishing kit signatures indicate an attempt to masquerade as a legitimate DeFi swap interface, a common tactic in cryptocurrency-targeted scams.

Currently, raydium.io-swap.cc has been taken offline and is no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk. However, its presence in security blocklists highlights the ongoing need for vigilance. Users are strongly advised to verify domain authenticity before engaging with crypto swap platforms and report suspicious domains promptly. PhishDestroy continues to monitor related threats to protect the community from emerging phishing campaigns.

## 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.
