## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:44:38 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:37:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies v4swap.limited as a domain involved in generic phishing campaigns posing a medium risk to users. Phishing sites like this one aim to deceive individuals into sharing sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss or data compromise. Awareness of these threats is critical to maintaining digital safety.

The domain v4swap.limited was registered on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 104.21.63.81. It is registered through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. Although currently offline, it appeared in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse and is listed on three separate security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged it in 6 out of 95 security vendor scans, indicating suspicious activity noted by some security researchers.

Users should avoid visiting v4swap.limited or engaging with any communications referencing this domain. Blocking the domain on network devices and updating endpoint protections can reduce exposure risk. If personal information was entered on this domain, users should change passwords and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance and prompt action to mitigate potential impact from phishing-related threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      746533df05dbe7cc517543dd6a88f526c2c89d6d1cbff09f9a47ea11d6169459

## 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.
