Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/appvote-hydrex.today/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!!
NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:
  https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real
  https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict

Nameservers:     ["tosana.ns.cloudflare.com", "priscilla.ns.cloudflare.com"]
HTTP response:   409

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:41:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-07 01:10:20 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-11 03:46:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 02:14:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, appvote-hydrex.today, operates as a cryptocurrency wallet phishing site designed to harvest sensitive credentials and private keys from unsuspecting users. The site mimics legitimate wallet interfaces to deceive victims into entering recovery phrases or login details, which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled infrastructure. Analysis indicates the domain specifically targets users of decentralized finance platforms, with the intent to drain digital assets from compromised wallets.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is associated with multiple indicators of compromise. It appears on 2 security blocklists and has been flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain was also detected in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, further confirming its malicious nature. Technical indicators include the use of Cloudflare for hosting and HTTP/3 protocol, alongside an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting users.  Users who visited appvote-hydrex.today or entered any sensitive information should immediately revoke access to any connected wallets or applications. It is critical to transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet using a fresh recovery phrase. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication where available. If credentials were reused across other platforms, update passwords immediately and review those accounts for signs of compromise. Security teams should block the domain at the network level and investigate any potential exposure within their environments.

## 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.
