sunswap[.]hk

The domain sunswap.hk is identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Uniswap, a well-known decentralized exchange protocol. Currently, this domain is offline, but prior analysis indicates it was actively used to deceive users into believing they were interacting with a legitimate TRON-based automated liquidity provision service. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was flagged by 8 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on three distinct security blocklists. Registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, sunswap.hk was created on February 21, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration that may indicate fraudulent intent. The domain resolved to the IP address 186.2.175.25, and its SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. The page title, 'SunSwap | A decentralized exchange protocol for automated liquidity provision on TRON,' closely mirrors Uniswap’s branding, reinforcing the impersonation scheme. Given the domain’s current offline status, immediate interaction risks are mitigated. However, users and organizations should remain vigilant, as similar impersonation domains often reappear under different names or TLDs. It is recommended to block the domain and its associated IP address (186.2.175.25) at the network level. Users should verify the authenticity of decentralized exchange platforms by cross-referencing official sources and checking for valid SSL certificates issued to the legitimate entity. Monitoring for newly registered domains with similar naming patterns is also advised to preempt potential threats.
