# PhishDestroy threat dossier — swapux-jup.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-07 23:16:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/swapux-jup.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["langston.ns.cloudflare.com", "teagan.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-01 Page title: Google HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 40a10356a95f99f555c8451d5e9714ed69080937ca49f2788b43098c35297356 ## 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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:16:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 22:02:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:06:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de3e3-61b1-72f8-a5fe-7f89fcb8b1d4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/swapux-jup.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.swapux-jup.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=swapux-jup.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/swapux-jup.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/swapux-jup.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:17:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies swapux-jup.icu as a live fake cryptocurrency exchange phishing domain under active investigation. The site mimics legitimate swap interfaces to harvest wallet credentials and private keys, posing severe financial risk to visitors. This domain is not yet widely blocked by detection engines despite clear malicious intent, requiring immediate caution from crypto users. This domain was flagged with a generic_phishing threat type and currently carries an under_investigation risk level. Technical indicators include registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 24, 2026, resolution to IP 188.114.96.3, and a currently clean 0/95 detection score on VirusTotal. The Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provides false legitimacy while obscuring the domain's recent creation. As of this assessment, no major blocklists have flagged the domain, leaving potential victims exposed to direct interaction. To mitigate exposure to this fake exchange phishing scheme, users should avoid visiting swapux-jup.icu entirely and verify any cryptocurrency-related URLs through official project websites. Wallet holders should immediately revoke any permissions granted to this domain and monitor on-chain activity for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should implement DNS filtering rules to block the domain and IP address at the network level. Report this domain to your security team and consider sharing indicators with threat intelligence platforms to accelerate broader blocking. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc TLS cert SHA-256: 40a10356a95f99f555c8451d5e9714ed69080937ca49f2788b43098c35297356 ## 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/swapux-jup.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=swapux-jup.icu 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.
