# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vote-coredao.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 15:22:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vote-coredao.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Registered: 2026-06-09 Expires: 2027-06-09 Page title: Just a moment... ## 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: 2026-06-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 14:21:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 12:28:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:18:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb17b-c130-7645-9682-dc4baaad7aa5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d5b8c367-e4a1-48d3-a245-ca6b30d32356 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-coredao.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-coredao.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-coredao.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-coredao.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-coredao.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:35:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing infrastructure specifically designed to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials. Analysis indicates the site impersonates CoreDAO-related services, aiming to deceive users into disclosing private keys, seed phrases, or other sensitive authentication details through fraudulent login portals or fake airdrop claims. The threat type is classified as crypto-phishing, with a focus on credential theft and unauthorized asset transfer. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of compromise. The domain vote-coredao.org was registered on June 09, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It is currently active and appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The page title 'Just a moment...' suggests the use of anti-bot or cloaking techniques to evade automated detection and analysis. No legitimate association with CoreDAO or its official infrastructure has been verified. Mitigation requires immediate action from both users and network defenders. Users who may have interacted with vote-coredao.org should revoke any connected wallet permissions, transfer assets to a new wallet, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Network-level protections should include blocking DNS resolution for the domain, implementing web filtering rules to prevent access, and alerting on any internal connections to its IP addresses. Organizations should also conduct retrospective log analysis to identify potential exposure and educate users on recognizing crypto-phishing tactics, such as verifying domain authenticity and avoiding unsolicited airdrop or wallet verification prompts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-491AD9 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/vote-coredao.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-coredao.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.
