## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 17:38:06 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 a high-risk crypto drainer targeting users of decentralized exchange platforms by impersonating Zealous Swap, a purported Kaspa DEX. Analysis indicates the site employs social engineering tactics to trick visitors into connecting wallets, subsequently draining funds through malicious smart contract interactions. The fraudulent infrastructure mimics legitimate liquidity protocols, increasing the likelihood of user compromise.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain zealouswap.xyz was registered on June 12, 2024, through Dynadot Inc, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.149.161, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335). The domain appears on three security blocklists and is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), provides a false sense of legitimacy while the page title explicitly references Kaspa DEX functionality.  Users who visited zealouswap.xyz should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions and transfer assets to a new wallet address. It is recommended to scan local devices for malware and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Due to the domain's active status and confirmed crypto drainer functionality, all interactions with this infrastructure should be considered compromised. No legitimate decentralized exchange operations are associated with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-0FFB88
Favicon MD5:       90229c0feb7d2ef63087d0f5ca245e90
TLS cert SHA-256:      73a14550ed09b8cdec6104c79fa1b451536f7954734e70d65e3f6c7cc569463a

## 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.
