illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-27 11:30:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-06 14:32:30 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:17:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain vote-edelfi.xyz presents an elevated risk as a generic phishing threat, indicating it is designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information through imitation of legitimate services. PhishDestroy's analysis confirms this domain is part of a broader phishing campaign, leveraging a deceptive name to lure victims.

Technical indicators reinforce this assessment. VirusTotal shows 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain was created on April 27, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with high-risk domains. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (E7), which, while legitimate, is frequently abused by phishers. AlienVault OTX includes this domain in one threat intelligence pulse, and it appears on three security blocklists. The domain is currently offline, but its historical activity warrants caution.

For users who may have encountered vote-edelfi.xyz, immediate steps include changing any passwords entered on the site and monitoring accounts for unauthorized access. Enable multi-factor authentication on all sensitive accounts. If credentials were submitted, report the incident to relevant service providers and consider placing a fraud alert on credit reports. PhishDestroy recommends blocking this domain at the network level and educating users to verify URLs before entering personal data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6170e2556f1fabeccd6df01a88219fa7
TLS cert SHA-256:      c44f0327ec081a30906f1ce8184cd5c8fd8f0e0b06be5feb17737c8a6a385024

## 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.
