## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:49:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies shadowswap.fun as an active generic phishing domain masquerading as a privacy-preserving decentralized exchange (DEX). The site aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under the guise of cryptocurrency trading.

The domain was registered on October 31, 2025, via Go Daddy, LLC and resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1. It appears on three security blocklists, and one security vendor has flagged it on VirusTotal, indicating low but present risk.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with shadowswap.fun, refrain from submitting personal or financial data, and rely on verified platforms for cryptocurrency transactions to mitigate potential phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       718873793149c541b74ba740001cf81f8e6ecafa3475c5a95b9b84c9f5ec6595
TLS cert SHA-256:      3da5902ed55cb8a3d1f972f3ff1cb62bf9a3de473d9badbc378b3de6c5ab26c6

## 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.
