Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: wallet_connect_phish
Targeted brand: aave (and: ethereum)
Wallet drainer: Angel Drainer

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/95 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco)

## 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: 2026-03-03 02:31:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies swp.aace.finance as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain designed to steal cryptocurrency assets. Although currently offline, it targeted users by mimicking legitimate DeFi services.

This phishing site used the Angel Drainer kit to trick victims into connecting wallets and draining funds without consent. It posed as a trusted liquidity protocol, luring users into exposing private keys and approving unauthorized transactions.

Users should never connect wallets or share keys on unverified sites. If you encountered swp.aace.finance, immediately revoke permissions from your crypto wallets and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Always verify URLs before interacting with DeFi platforms.

## 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.
