Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] apyx.vote was registered on July 16 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolving to the Cloudflare‑hosted address 188.114.97.3. The domain is served by the Cloudflare name servers kip.ns.cloudflare.com and meera.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of a reputable CDN for concealment and rapid deployment. The domain is flagged as active and under investigation for a generic phishing operation. No public malware detections have been reported by scanning services, but the absence of detections does not imply benign intent. The immediate creation date, coupled with the use of Cloudflare DNS, is consistent with a short‑lived phishing infrastructure designed to evade early detection. Defenders should add apyx.vote to block lists at perimeter and endpoint layers, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and enforce outbound filtering for traffic to this host. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s reputation and any observed payloads is recommended, as the threat actor may reuse the infrastructure for future campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 736740d9b2ad49457a066d9e7b9c53ae304a1c2392bd5fd32592b12a8c97179b ## 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 (operator 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/apyx.vote/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apyx.vote 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
