Security engines reporting a detection: 10. Public blocklists reporting a match: 2. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
The domain byvotes.exchange has been identified as posing a high-risk phishing threat. Operating under the guise of a seemingly legitimate service titled 'ByVotes', this domain may not specifically associate with any known brand but is engineered to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. At this time, no drainer kit has been explicitly associated with this domain, but its status on multiple security blocklists indicates malicious intent.
The technical indicators for byvotes.exchange provide a clear picture of its threat profile. The domain was created on May 09, 2026, through the registrar Dynadot Inc. It has been flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring its potentially dangerous nature. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, located in Canada and associated with CloudFlare, Inc. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate with an E8 identifier, adding a layer of encryption that might be misused to gain user trust. The domain's presence on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, further corroborates the malicious threat it poses.
Currently, byvotes.exchange remains active, maintaining its potential to cause harm. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with the site and to implement protective measures such as updating security software and practicing caution with unknown domains. The domain's continued activity necessitates ongoing monitoring and possibly, more aggressive takedown efforts by cybersecurity authorities. The risk remains significant as long as this domain remains operational, given its capability to exploit unsuspecting users' trust and extract sensitive data. Vigilance and informed user behavior are essential to mitigating the risks posed by this domain.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
