## 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: 2026-03-19 01:59:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies simpleswap.digital as a high-risk domain involved in generic phishing activities, masquerading as a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site claims to facilitate easy swaps between major cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, EOS, and XLM, potentially misleading users into divulging sensitive information.

The domain resolves to IP address 62.60.226.213 and was registered on October 10, 2025, through Porkbun LLC. It has been listed on two security blocklists and flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant level of suspicion. The domain has since been taken offline, limiting immediate threat exposure.

Currently, simpleswap.digital remains offline, reducing the risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interacting with this domain or any communications referencing it. Users should always verify cryptocurrency exchange platforms through trusted sources and report suspicious domains to security authorities to prevent potential phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       45d6dac7e1fa9bedf3aad31f0720428baac1240727794ce11e259663346b5e31

## 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.
