Is sushi-swap.icu a Fake DeFi Platform Scam?

Analysis of sushi-swap.icu as of July 28, 2026, indicates this domain is an active high-risk phishing site targeting decentralized finance (DeFi) users. The domain returns an HTTP 302 redirect status, suggesting it is designed to forward visitors to another malicious endpoint rather than hosting content directly. Infrastructure analysis reveals Cloudflare nameservers (apollo.ns.cloudflare.com and meera.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns. The domain is registered through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently used by threat actors due to its accessibility and privacy features.

Security vendor detections confirm its malicious nature, with 15 of 91 engines on VirusTotal flagging the domain as phishing or fraudulent. It is currently blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on at least one additional security blocklist, reinforcing its classification as an active threat. The domain remains operational, posing a risk to users who may mistake it for a legitimate DeFi platform due to its deceptive naming convention. Defenders should treat sushi-swap.icu as a confirmed phishing domain.

Network-level blocking is recommended, along with monitoring for related domains using similar naming patterns or Cloudflare infrastructure. The exact content of the site has not been analyzed, but the combination of redirect behavior, Cloudflare hosting, and multiple vendor detections provides sufficient evidence to classify this as a high-risk scam. No legitimate use case is identified for this domain given its infrastructure and detection profile.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f8aa4091c8ed1b9861a4392da615cc3d1e8605908793a3c455e4c4f2d0c33918

## 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.
