On July 24, 2026, the domain swap-ambient.finance was observed offline but retains indicators of a high‑risk crypto drainer campaign targeting Ethereum users. The site resolved to the Cloudflare IP address 104.21.90.57, hosted within AS13335 in the United States. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating that HTTPS was not configured at the time of analysis. The authoritative nameservers are margot.ns.cloudflare.com and pablo.ns.cloudflare.com, both belonging to Cloudflare’s DNS service. The page title returned by the server reads “ETH/USDC $4,727.32 ~ Ambient,” a phrasing that mimics legitimate market data feeds and reinforces the impersonation of Ethereum‑related services.

The campaign is linked to the publicly known Angel Drainer kit, a toolset commonly used to harvest wallet private keys or seed phrases. Classification from the intelligence feed lists the operation as a wallet/seed phishing attempt, consistent with the drainer’s typical behavior. Four independent security blocklists—PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura—have already added swap-ambient.finance to their deny lists, and VirusTotal recorded five detections out of ninety‑five scanners, confirming a consensus among multiple vendors that the domain is malicious. No SSL certificate, combined with the lack of a valid HTTPS endpoint, reduces the site’s credibility and suggests a rapid deployment aimed at short‑term phishing. The absence of further data such as registrar information, Safe Browsing status, or OTX sightings limits the depth of the attribution, but the convergence of IP ownership, kit identification, and blocklist entries provides a robust indicator set.

Defenders should immediately block any network resolution to 104.21.90.57 and add swap-ambient.finance to web‑filter deny lists. Endpoint protection solutions that incorporate the five VirusTotal detections should be configured to quarantine any files or processes associated with the Angel Drainer payload.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with swap-ambient.finance — act now.

What should I do immediately?
Urgent
  • Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
  • Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines

According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:

  • Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g., 0x5856...35985)
  • Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
  • Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including swap-ambient.finance)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?
  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
  • Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do crypto scams typically work?
  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
  • Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
