Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.simples-wap.org

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-26 17:08:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

simples-wap.org is a live generic phishing domain masquerading as the legitimate SimpleSwap.io cryptocurrency exchange. PhishDestroy identifies it as an active scam page harvesting wallet credentials under the guise of a crypto swap service.    Risk indicators are mixed: the domain resolves to IP 176.125.242.151, uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, and is registered through Dynadot Inc on April 7, 2026. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections and the site is not yet listed on major blocklists, indicating low detection coverage despite clear impersonation intent.    Users should avoid visiting simples-wap.org and verify URLs via official sources before entering any wallet addresses or private keys. Report the domain to your security team and block both the domain and IP 176.125.242.151 at the network level. If exposed, revoke any connected wallet permissions immediately.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260426-147666
Favicon MD5:       8b3326d3069135202dfc4029fef7031d
TLS cert SHA-256:      20ba219bb6459fc0599e6801a4b3d80fb2ff897d5c21873718129c3564347f04

## 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.
