# PhishDestroy threat dossier — winswaps.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 18:18:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/winswaps.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.65.92 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 06:20:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-20 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:44:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain winswaps.org has been identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Google users through a sophisticated phishing scheme. This domain was designed to deceive individuals into believing they were interacting with legitimate Google services, potentially leading to credential theft or other malicious outcomes. The page title observed for this domain was 'Suspected Phishing | Cloudflare', indicating that hosting provider Cloudflare had already flagged the content as suspicious. No specific drainer kit was identified in association with this domain, but the threat remains significant due to the impersonation of a widely trusted brand. Technical analysis reveals that winswaps.org was registered through NameSilo, LLC and created on June 2, 2026, which is notably in the future, suggesting potential data anomalies or a typo in the creation date. The domain resolved to IP address 104.21.65.92 and was issued an SSL certificate by Google Trust Services (WE1). VirusTotal analysis shows that 9 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing specifically flags the domain for phishing, reinforcing the threat assessment. These indicators collectively point to a well-constructed phishing operation aimed at harvesting user credentials. As of the latest intelligence, winswaps.org has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. However, the domain remains a potential threat if it becomes active again or if similar domains are deployed by the same threat actors. PhishDestroy recommends that organizations and individuals review their security logs for any interactions with this domain and ensure that multi-factor authentication is enabled on Google accounts. Users should remain vigilant against unsolicited communications urging them to click on links or provide sensitive information, and always verify the authenticity of websites before entering credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 46007a1c9184f4f15f356ebed6f0f7bb TLS cert SHA-256: 9d7501afe613ff3efef72b2cb781eae4463b01689b3f88381066742102c9f851 ## 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/winswaps.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=winswaps.org 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.
