No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-07 17:36:40 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:20:19 UTC (STALE — 21 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 18:07:33 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 21 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 21 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c391e-a34d-74ed-afc6-1ac4a4cadfd1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9b70f713-3352-4396-b856-3bbd40f505a6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/swapff.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.swapff.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=swapff.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/swapff.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/swapff.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:02:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified swapff.com as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask users. The domain's page title, "MetaMask | Your Home in Web3," is designed to mislead visitors into believing it is affiliated with the legitimate MetaMask platform. Despite its low-risk classification, this domain attempts to exploit user trust in a popular Web3 wallet service. From a technical perspective, swapff.com was registered via Name.com, Inc. on February 21, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 63.176.8.218. It has a very low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft and has appeared on three security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged the domain by only one out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited detection but nonetheless warranting caution. The domain infrastructure signals a typical phishing setup designed to deceive users through brand impersonation. Currently, swapff.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends that individuals remain vigilant, especially when encountering domains that mimic well-known brands like MetaMask. Users should verify URLs carefully before entering sensitive information and employ security tools that identify and block suspicious domains. Organizations are advised to monitor such domains for potential reactivation or similar threats using the unique seed c434fc for tracking purposes. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260207-78C0F5 Favicon SHA-256: 8514f0009a58c6e0acb5468f88037732b59b70af5e524f452e3bef8fb33effc5 TLS cert SHA-256: e2d930993c39bd9931adcda13593b90840e641a05829046ad05d5672786c5607 ## 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/swapff.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=swapff.com 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.
