Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-ev.rest as an active phishing domain designed to harvest voter credentials under the guise of a fraudulent voting portal. This domain mimics legitimate election-related websites to trick users into entering sensitive login information, which is then harvested by attackers for identity theft or unauthorized account access. Security researchers have linked this site to coordinated disinformation campaigns targeting democratic processes, making it a high-risk threat to unsuspecting voters. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors for phishing activity, registered through Dynadot LLC on May 21, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 144.31.51.233. It has also been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, and appears on 2 separate security blocklists, indicating widespread recognition of its malicious nature. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is misleading, as it does not guarantee legitimacy and is commonly abused by phishing operators to appear trustworthy. If you visited vote-ev.rest or entered any information, immediately change passwords for all accounts using the same credentials, enable two-factor authentication, and scan your devices for malware. Report the domain to your email provider and local cybercrime units. Avoid clicking any links from unsolicited messages referencing this domain, as it may lead to further credential theft or malware installation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 TLS cert SHA-256: 80e7af9d74f4fe6340e6a9726a2dc917dcdf86bb9d09501f9e7509b4df5aef2a ## 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-ev.rest/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-ev.rest 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.
