# PhishDestroy threat dossier — swap-cow-fi.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 01:52:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/swap-cow-fi.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 85/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: DEX Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 130.12.180.128 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Hosting org: Virtualine Technologies Registrar: DYNADOT LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Registered: 2026-03-27 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-27 16:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-28 01:32:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 15:13:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, swap-cow-fi.co, is identified as a crypto drainer scam designed to target cryptocurrency wallet users. The infrastructure is engineered to mimic legitimate decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, tricking victims into connecting their wallets to malicious smart contracts. Once connected, the drainer silently siphons funds by executing unauthorized transactions, often leaving victims with empty wallets and no recourse for recovery. The threat is particularly insidious due to its ability to bypass basic security checks and exploit user trust in seemingly familiar interfaces. Analysis indicates that swap-cow-fi.co presents a high-risk threat, supported by multiple technical indicators. The domain is flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a clear sign of malicious intent. It appears on three security blocklists, including reputable sources that track financial fraud and phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered on March 27, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 130.12.180.128, hosted by Virtualine Technologies in the Netherlands. Notably, the domain lacks an SSL certificate, which is unusual for legitimate financial platforms and further underscores its fraudulent nature. Users who have visited swap-cow-fi.co or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential damage. First, disconnect any wallets or accounts linked to the domain and revoke all active smart contract approvals using a trusted blockchain explorer. Next, scan the affected device for malware or unauthorized extensions that may have been installed during the interaction. Monitor wallet activity closely for any unauthorized transactions and report them to the relevant blockchain network or wallet provider. If funds were stolen, consider filing a report with local cybercrime authorities and providing them with the domain, IP address, and transaction hashes for further investigation. ## 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/swap-cow-fi.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=swap-cow-fi.co 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.
