PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

castvote.forum is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as a voting portal under the bare page title "Vote". MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL all list it, which places its targets among crypto wallet users. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-09-25, and it was still online and serving live content on 2026-10-19.

How the scam works

Fake "vote" pages usually borrow the look of a governance poll, community ballot or contest. The visitor is told that casting a vote requires logging in or connecting a wallet. That step is where the theft happens. Depending on the lure, victims lose account credentials, or they sign a wallet request that hands an attacker control over their tokens. The single-word title "Vote" and the forum-style domain are the whole pitch: an urgent, low-effort action that seems harmless to complete.

Evidence

On 2026-10-07, 8 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar and Sophos. That is a minority of engines, but they are well-known vendors. Wallet-focused blocklists back them up: MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL all list the domain alongside PhishDestroy. Spamhaus carries it in its DBL as spam, and four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it. Taken together, these are independent signals from the general security and Web3 communities.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered through Registrar.eu on 2026-09-24, and PhishDestroy detected it the next day. That gap is typical of a site built to be used immediately rather than to build any history. It resolves to 2.27.248.227 on the DEDIK SERVICES LIMITED network in Germany. Its Let's Encrypt certificate is free and automatic, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about who runs the site.

What to do

Do not open castvote.forum or follow links to it, however legitimate the vote sounds. If you entered a password or login there, change it right away, starting with any other account that uses the same password, and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, review and revoke token approvals with a trusted revocation tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet if you shared a seed phrase. Defenders should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level and check logs for visits since 2026-09-25.

Questions about castvote.forum

Is castvote.forum legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies castvote.forum as a MetaMask impersonation page (risk: critical, 100/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-25. VirusTotal: 8/92 engines flag it. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is castvote.forum safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on castvote.forum. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used castvote.forum?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

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.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

After a phishing incident

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including castvote.forum)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
