# PhishDestroy threat dossier — spooky-swap.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 17:18:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/spooky-swap.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: april.ns.cloudflare.com, kayden.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-04-15 Page title: www.www.spooky-swap.net ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-04-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 17:07:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 19:40:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 17:08:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db584-30be-76aa-9df7-fef41193c6cf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/spooky-swap.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.spooky-swap.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=spooky-swap.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/spooky-swap.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/spooky-swap.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 17:08:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies spooky-swap.net as an elevated-risk cryptocurrency scam site actively targeting users under the guise of a decentralized exchange. This domain operates under a first-party deception strategy, impersonating legitimate DeFi platforms to lure victims into connecting wallets and approving malicious transaction requests. The site claims to offer token swaps but is designed to drain funds through hidden approvals and front-end manipulation common in exit scams. It presents an immediate financial threat to cryptocurrency users seeking yield or liquidity services. This domain was flagged by 10 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating partial detection across major antivirus and threat intelligence platforms. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on April 15, 2025, and currently displays page title www.www.spooky-swap.net, suggesting obfuscation attempts via redundant subdomain structure. Additionally, it has been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, two prominent security tooling platforms in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. The site holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which does not imply legitimacy in this context, and it appears on two known security blocklists, further corroborating its malicious nature. Users should immediately cease any interaction with spooky-swap.net and verify any similar-looking URLs against official project websites. To mitigate risk, revoke any unwittingly granted wallet permissions via tools like Etherscan or Revoke.cash. If funds or assets were connected, review wallet transactions for suspicious approvals or transfers. Report the domain to security platforms (e.g., MetaMask, SEAL, VirusTotal) and local cybercrime units. Always access DeFi platforms through verified bookmarks or official links, and enable wallet transaction simulation tools where available. Stay vigilant against domains using name similarity or thematic branding to exploit trust. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2205bd3842aa89b846031f4d6ab1b383 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/spooky-swap.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spooky-swap.net Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
