Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-central-1) Registrar: Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p03.nsone.net", "dns2.p03.nsone.net", "dns3.p03.nsone.net", "dns4.p03.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-18 Page title: X402.swap - Premium Crypto Exchange ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 624377394b9cb78654b9d32e276e900989862e9c50b39d7a757da97559638199 ## 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: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 23:30:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 00:20:43 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 02:44:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:23:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies x402-swap.xyz as a site that poses a significant threat to users, as it is designed to deceive them into divulging sensitive information, which can lead to financial loss and identity theft. This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and was created on April 18, 2026, through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU, LLC, which raises concerns about its legitimacy. The fact that x402-swap.xyz appears on 1 security blocklist and has been flagged by AlienVault OTX in 1 threat intelligence pulse further solidifies the notion that this site is not trustworthy. With its current status being taken offline, it is clear that authorities have taken steps to mitigate the threat it poses, but users who may have interacted with the site before it was taken down should still be cautious. If a user has visited x402-swap.xyz before it was taken offline, they should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and consider changing their passwords, as the site's generic phishing nature makes it a significant risk to their personal and financial information. By being vigilant and taking proactive steps, users can protect themselves from potential harm and ensure their online safety, which is essential in today's digital landscape, especially considering the domain's SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt and its resolution to IP 35.157.26.135. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5d6410fdd834d04b07b3ecfc5b07b2fe TLS cert SHA-256: 624377394b9cb78654b9d32e276e900989862e9c50b39d7a757da97559638199 ## 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/x402-swap.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x402-swap.xyz 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.
