## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-17 09:16:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies simpleswapdex.com as a malicious impersonation of a cryptocurrency exchange portal designed to harvest wallet credentials and private keys from unsuspecting users. The domain leverages social engineering tactics, presenting itself as a legitimate swap platform while operating under the guise of 'SimpleSwap.' Security researchers note that threat actors frequently abuse similar naming conventions to trick users into entering sensitive wallet information.  This domain was flagged following its appearance on one security blocklist and immediate detection by MetaMask, which now blocks access to the site. Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 14, 2026, through Dynadot Inc., and resolves to IP address 130.12.180.128. Despite using a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, VirusTotal currently shows zero detections out of 95 security engines, indicating a newly deployed but unflagged threat.  If you visited simpleswapdex.com, stop entering any information immediately. Disconnect your wallet from the site, check your transaction history for unauthorized transfers, and revoke any suspicious token approvals using tools like revoke.cash. Report the domain to your wallet provider and local cybersecurity authorities. Always verify URLs and use official bookmarks or app links for cryptocurrency services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260517-CBB3DC
Favicon MD5:       dd7f189033499f2c13ba19d330bf8264
TLS cert SHA-256:      f6087e73b419c125032e482cb5b90e374ebe4b294f5ae26decd402a80f2f274c

## 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.
