Evidence Summary
CRITICAL
Ref
BC9D1A52
Score
95/100

The domain smpleswap.xyz presents a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange platform, impersonating the legitimate SimpleSwap brand. The page title claims to facilitate swapping Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and other assets, but its core threat is phishing or credential theft targeting cryptocurrency users. The site poses a financial risk by potentially stealing login credentials, private keys, or deposited funds from victims.

Technical evidence shows the site was flagged by 17 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, and CyRadar. It is listed on 7 blocklists. The domain was registered on 2026-02-21 via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. The IP address 188.114.97.3 is hosted in the US by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The site lacks SSL encryption, indicating no secure connection. Nameservers are blair.ns.cloudflare.com and theo.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently offline or down. GridinSoft trust rating is 0 out of 100, and the DOM risk score is 15. The risk level is high due to the combination of impersonation of a known brand, high detection rate across security vendors, and absence of SSL, making it unsuitable for any legitimate use.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
