Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:56:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 15:56:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e4c-5143-7592-ba75-716ec452c017/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b399d65e-abe0-459f-8a31-62a118517d3b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-flare-networks.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-flare-networks.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-flare-networks.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-flare-networks.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-flare-networks.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 15:00:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vote-flare-networks.live, is flagged as a credential harvesting phishing threat under active investigation. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to impersonate legitimate network or voting-related services, likely targeting users seeking election infrastructure or corporate network authentication portals. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the naming convention suggests an intent to deceive users into disclosing login credentials or sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 23, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. As of the latest scan, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it remains undetected by mainstream security tools. The domain’s creation date is anomalous, as it appears to have been registered in the future (2026), which may be a tactic to evade automated detection systems that rely on domain age as a trust indicator. No blocklist entries or trust scores have been recorded, further suggesting the domain is in the early stages of deployment. Current status remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Organizations and users are advised to treat this domain as malicious and implement immediate mitigations. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.96.3 and domain-level filtering for vote-flare-networks.live should be enforced. Security teams are recommended to monitor for connections to this domain in proxy logs, endpoint detection and response (EDR) telemetry, and DNS query records. Given the lack of vendor detections, manual investigation of any interactions with this domain is critical. Users should be educated to verify domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly for services related to voting systems or network authentication.

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-flare-networks.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-flare-networks.live 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.
