# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fomovote.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 00:05:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fomovote.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: arely.ns.cloudflare.com, armando.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-06-17 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: eec8c5788d896bc391b94dd77a2640afcb789350bf7143cd6aaa36ed93780e85 ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 10:24:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 08:27:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 01:47:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 12:01:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0306-b117-72cd-8b6e-c83601675d8c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fomovote.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fomovote.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fomovote.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fomovote.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fomovote.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 11:16:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, fomovote.org, is flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site designed to mimic legitimate authentication portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with known brand impersonation or drainer kits, though the infrastructure aligns with generic phishing campaigns targeting user credentials. The site employs deceptive login forms to capture sensitive information, including usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes, which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled endpoints. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 17, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting limited but present awareness within the threat intelligence community. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a veneer of legitimacy while the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) alerts are currently associated with this domain, though this may reflect a lag in detection rather than absence of risk. As of the latest assessment, fomovote.org remains active and poses a high risk to users encountering its deceptive pages. Immediate response actions include blocking the domain at the DNS or network level, implementing web filtering rules to prevent access, and alerting users to the threat. Despite the low VirusTotal detection rate, the domain's recent registration, suspicious infrastructure, and active phishing pages justify elevated caution. Organizations should monitor for related indicators, including the IP address 188.114.97.3 and any subdomains or redirect chains associated with fomovote.org, to mitigate further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-36B2B6 TLS cert SHA-256: eec8c5788d896bc391b94dd77a2640afcb789350bf7143cd6aaa36ed93780e85 ## 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/fomovote.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fomovote.org 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.
