## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 12:25:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Sonicswap.org is a malicious domain designed to steal cryptocurrency via a fake swap interface. It poses as a legitimate decentralized exchange but is actually a crypto drainer that prompts users to connect their wallets and approve malicious transactions. Once approved, attackers can siphon funds from the victim's wallet. This threat falls under the broader category of generic phishing, specifically tailored for crypto asset theft.

This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate but confirmed risk. The domain registration details show it was created recently, and the registrar information suggests it was set up specifically for this campaign. The unique seed 4ec7fa helps track this variant. PhishDestroy correlates these indicators with known phishing patterns to warn users effectively.

If you have visited Sonicswap.org and connected your wallet, immediately revoke all approvals for that site using a token approval checker or by using a hardware wallet with limited permissions. If you entered any seed phrases or private keys, assume they are compromised and transfer remaining funds to a new wallet. Monitor your accounts for unauthorized transactions and report the domain to relevant authorities and security platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260609-76FA8E
Favicon MD5:       a2bd7298aea9971e039fc01c3a944f0d

## 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 (operator 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.
