# PhishDestroy threat dossier — swifttradex.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 08:59:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/swifttradex.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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: felipe.ns.cloudflare.com, stevie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-25 Expires: 2027-05-25 Page title: Swift TradeX | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 49cfff3e77862fe74e7ac5ac2f0bf55d0eade6d7bec3d50d38c74893e14233e4 ## 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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:00:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-31 23:22:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:25:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8040-1e26-72c9-8f58-5a868d3ea494/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8d6d8d3a-a9ef-4515-9755-fa1e35dc235a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/swifttradex.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.swifttradex.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=swifttradex.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/swifttradex.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/swifttradex.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:22:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk crypto investment scam, specifically designed to deceive users with fraudulent AI-assisted trading offers. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate financial platforms, likely soliciting deposits or credentials under false pretenses of automated trading tools. The threat type aligns with known patterns of cryptocurrency drainers or fake investment schemes, where victims are lured into transferring funds to attacker-controlled wallets. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain swifttradex.live was registered on May 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with an anomalous future creation date suggesting potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. The site resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to appear legitimate. Detection metrics include 8/95 security vendors flagging the domain on VirusTotal, a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, and inclusion on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy). The page title, "Swift TradeX | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading," further confirms the impersonation of financial services. Mitigation requires immediate action from network defenders and end users. Organizations should block the domain at DNS and proxy levels, and monitor for connections to the associated IP 188.114.96.3. End users should be warned against interacting with any AI-assisted trading offers from this domain, particularly those requesting cryptocurrency deposits or account credentials. Financial institutions should alert customers to verify platform authenticity through official channels and report any fraudulent communications. Given the future-dated registration, additional scrutiny of domains from the same registrar is recommended to identify related threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 8/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260531-B91D07 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 49cfff3e77862fe74e7ac5ac2f0bf55d0eade6d7bec3d50d38c74893e14233e4 ## 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/swifttradex.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=swifttradex.live 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.
