## 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: 2026-03-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-11 18:30:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-12 19:40:13 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-16 03:16:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-18 17:36:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sushiswap.cc as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the SushiSwap decentralized exchange platform. The website mimics SushiSwap’s branding and page title, aiming to deceive users into believing it is a legitimate service for swapping, staking, and governance involving SUSHI tokens. This impersonation attempt poses potential risks such as credential theft or fraudulent transactions.

The domain sushiswap.cc was registered on March 11, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., a common registrar that can be used for both legitimate and malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and has appeared on three security blocklists, indicating suspicious activity reported by various threat intelligence sources. VirusTotal analysis shows that 6 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, further confirming the potential threat. The use of a Cloudflare registrar and recent domain creation are typical red flags associated with phishing campaigns targeting decentralized finance users.

Currently, sushiswap.cc is offline and no longer resolves, mitigating immediate risk to users. However, PhishDestroy recommends that users avoid interacting with this domain and always verify the authenticity of crypto exchange websites by checking official sources. Security professionals should continue monitoring this domain and related infrastructure for any reactivation or similar impersonation attempts to protect the DeFi community from phishing scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a10f72519753cb62408e90ef4bdd3aa4
TLS cert SHA-256:      42feca2e03035ca73ea47e148a1bcef8cc4360fbd0a054dfb530cdb9bbd5315a

## 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.
