## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      Nur einen Moment…

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:11:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

vote-blackhole.app, a phishing domain, has been taken down but previously posed a threat with 2 out of 93 VirusTotal vendors marking it as malicious. The site, flagged by PhishDestroy, appeared to target users with a deceptive page titled 'Nur einen Moment…'. Its presence on one public blocklist underscores its malicious intent.

The domain was hosted on an IP address associated with Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. Despite its current offline status, the site was active long enough to be detected by PhishDestroy just five days after its creation on February 21, 2026. This rapid detection highlights the effectiveness of PhishDestroy's monitoring systems, which identified the threat before it could propagate widely.

vote-blackhole.app's platform risk score of 56 out of 100 indicates a moderate level of threat, suggesting that while the domain was not highly sophisticated, it was still capable of deceiving users. The use of a generic page title and the timing of its operation suggest that the site was part of a broader phishing campaign, possibly exploiting current events or voter-related themes to lure victims. Although the domain is no longer active, the incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance against phishing threats.

## 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 (operator 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.
