## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-14 14:29:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 06:21:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 16:23:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing site impersonating RosSwap, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets or entering sensitive credentials, likely for the purpose of asset theft or unauthorized transactions. The domain mimics legitimate DeFi swap interfaces, a common tactic in cryptocurrency phishing campaigns targeting users of decentralized exchanges and token-swapping services.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 07, 2026, through DYNADOT LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common configuration for both legitimate and malicious sites. Security vendors have flagged the domain with 3 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, and it appears on 4 security blocklists. The page title, RosSwap, directly matches the impersonated brand, further confirming its fraudulent intent.  Users who have visited rossswap.xyz or interacted with the site should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions and transfer assets to a secure wallet if credentials were entered. It is recommended to scan local devices for malware, as phishing sites may deploy additional payloads. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity and report the domain to relevant security teams or blocklist providers. Given the high-risk classification and active status, organizations should update filtering rules to block access to this domain and its associated IP address.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f9e115b099ce140fbe04ccbe4fc49258
TLS cert SHA-256:      7a5c7031f2cf4261c1d05e2a058e85afb5e449076b032ae6546c975dbc729801

## 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.
