Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The website crypvote.com presents itself as a platform for cryptocurrency news, discussions, and voting, as indicated by its page title. However, it poses a threat as a potentially malicious domain, likely designed to deceive users seeking cryptocurrency-related content. The detection of content splitting ("content_split") suggests the site serves different content to users versus crawlers, a technique often used to evade security analysis and hide malicious intent. Technical analysis reveals the domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, and SOCRadar, and appears on 1 blocklist. It is registered with NAMECHEAP INC, created on 2026-01-09, and hosted on IP 216.198.79.1 (US) under AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. The site uses an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (YR1), and its nameservers are pdns1.registrar-servers.com and pdns2.registrar-servers.com. Currently, crypvote.com is offline. With a domain risk score of 71 and evidence of cloaking, the risk level is assessed as high. The site’s recent creation, low vendor detection count, and deceptive content practices indicate a significant potential for harm, such as phishing or spreading misinformation, despite its current inactive status. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-4EFE5F Favicon MD5: 5c269bb3327741787c2b3336068c8380 TLS cert SHA-256: 430dac904d983fa1c958c699193c286f6fb17a3bc3e363cc9edcb86e17c7eac6 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypvote.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypvote.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
