# PhishDestroy threat dossier — service.syncswap.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 18:57:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/service.syncswap.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.135.125 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["alex.ns.cloudflare.com", "mckenzie.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: SyncSwap ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 97cdddb687d07101b73188a2585dc49cd24fff06a741c5ce83253dbf7511987a Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - syncswap.net ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-17 09:32:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 06:33:35 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:01:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d9a23-27f8-7320-b75a-adec47a18df5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d8b8c450-6641-4059-8dec-e0498af203ba Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/service.syncswap.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.service.syncswap.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=service.syncswap.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/service.syncswap.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/service.syncswap.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-17 09:32:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies service.syncswap.net as a counterfeit SyncSwap login page designed to trick users into connecting wallets and draining crypto funds. The site mimics the legitimate syncswap.io interface to harvest private keys and seed phrases, redirecting deposited tokens to attacker-controlled wallets within seconds of authorization. Users who enter credentials or approve wallet connections risk irreversible asset loss, as the drainer contracts are pre-configured to siphon all supported tokens automatically. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy based on a 0/95 VirusTotal detection ratio, registration through NAMECHEAP INC on March 11, 2022, and resolution to IP 172.67.135.125. The site holds a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which attackers often use to appear legitimate and bypass browser warnings. Technical analysis shows the domain was registered 11 days after the real SyncSwap domain, suggesting opportunistic impersonation during peak DeFi activity. If you visited service.syncswap.net, immediately revoke any wallet connections in your wallet’s approval settings and transfer remaining funds to a new address. Scan your device with reputable antivirus software to check for infostealers, and consider rotating all private keys and seed phrases if you entered them. Report the domain to your wallet provider and PhishDestroy to help block future attacks. Always verify URLs against official sources and use hardware wallets for large transactions. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-797EB2 Favicon MD5: 4b404862b014e8f63f5b1883d103ddeb TLS cert SHA-256: 97cdddb687d07101b73188a2585dc49cd24fff06a741c5ce83253dbf7511987a ## 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/service.syncswap.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=service.syncswap.net 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.
