## 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 01:26:08 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.online as a high-risk phishing domain masquerading under the title "Krypto Swap." The domain has been flagged repeatedly in threat intelligence sources such as AlienVault OTX and appears on multiple security blocklists, indicating a history of malicious activity targeting users seeking cryptocurrency exchange services. The site’s primary threat lies in attempting to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive financial or personal data.

Technically, simpleswap.online was registered recently on July 29, 2025, through Porkbun LLC and resolves to the IP address 176.46.152.93. The domain has been detected in 15 threat intelligence pulses and is flagged by 14 security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring its suspicious nature. Its presence on four different blocklists further corroborates the potential danger it poses to users. These indicators collectively suggest a coordinated attempt to exploit cryptocurrency users via phishing tactics.

Currently, simpleswap.online is offline, which reduces immediate risk. However, users should remain vigilant as similar domains or clones could appear. PhishDestroy advises against interacting with this domain or providing any personal or financial information if encountered elsewhere. Employing updated security software and verifying the legitimacy of cryptocurrency exchange platforms through official channels is recommended to avoid falling victim to such scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       293d3bf5df1d11654d879b5f7daeb2b4be4a75c9c8125a67e195535370674f03

## 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.
