## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:02:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies swappian.com as a domain associated with generic phishing activities, primarily targeting cryptocurrency users. While the risk level is assessed as low, the site purported to offer cryptocurrency exchange services, potentially aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information.

The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on August 10, 2018, and resolved to the IP address 172.67.192.208. It appeared on three security blocklists, and VirusTotal flagged it by one out of ninety-five security vendors. These indicators suggest limited but credible suspicion of malicious intent within its infrastructure.

Currently, swappian.com is offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. Users are advised to avoid engaging with this domain or related URLs and to remain vigilant for phishing attempts using similar branding. Organizations should consider updating their blocklists to include this domain where applicable.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       76d648e216ed2f0789f2a746b54ea6ba79ca855e7c55a7df13c3eb5dfcf77226

## 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.
