# PhishDestroy threat dossier — derive-voting.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 14:12:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/derive-voting.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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: brian.ns.cloudflare.com, millie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-25 Expires: 2027-06-25 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:24:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 12:13:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0df8-178f-7079-b478-eaa843cb93ec/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/39a45cc7-e3ae-48ab-b639-558f5694624d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/derive-voting.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.derive-voting.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=derive-voting.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/derive-voting.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/derive-voting.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:02:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, derive-voting.xyz, is currently flagged as an active voter registration phishing site targeting election-related credentials and personal data. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to impersonate legitimate voter registration portals, though no specific brand affiliation has been confirmed. The domain remains operational and poses a high risk to users seeking election services. Infrastructure analysis reveals derive-voting.xyz was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 25, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration that aligns with known phishing campaign patterns. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is presently listed on three distinct security blocklists. VirusTotal detection metrics show 4 of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, while the absence of an SSL certificate further undermines its legitimacy. The domain's creation date, combined with its immediate appearance on threat intelligence feeds, suggests premeditated malicious intent. Current status confirms derive-voting.xyz remains active and accessible. Security teams are advised to implement immediate network-level blocking for the domain and its associated IP address. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to include this indicator of compromise and monitor for any attempts to access derive-voting.xyz from internal networks. Users should be educated to recognize voter registration phishing attempts and verify all election-related communications through official government channels only. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-0ED7D1 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 ## 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/derive-voting.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=derive-voting.xyz 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.
