Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-genius.com as an active credential theft domain posing as a legitimate voting platform. This elevated-risk threat leverages brand impersonation to harvest user credentials and drain cryptocurrency wallets. The domain was registered on May 07, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP 172.67.201.21. Security blocklists and trust scores confirm its malicious nature: 1/95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain, while MetaMask and SEAL have actively blocked it. The Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate adds a false layer of legitimacy, but technical indicators reveal its phishing infrastructure. This domain exemplifies a sophisticated credential theft campaign, where attackers impersonate trusted entities to deceive users into surrendering sensitive login details or cryptocurrency. The presence on multiple blocklists, alongside low trust metrics, underscores its elevated risk profile. Users interacting with vote-genius.com risk exposing credentials or wallet access, leading to financial loss or identity theft. The domain’s recent creation and rapid flagging by security tools highlight its transient yet high-impact nature. To mitigate exposure, users should avoid accessing vote-genius.com entirely. If credentials were entered, immediately change passwords and revoke connected wallet permissions. Block the domain at the network level and report the site to security platforms like VirusTotal or PhishDestroy. Organizations should update threat intelligence feeds to include this domain and warn employees or customers about the scam. Vigilance and proactive security measures remain critical in combating such credential theft campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260508-6205BD Favicon MD5: 6bb04dc8b9242d0fa182e76816c9dbb9 TLS cert SHA-256: 046fd680b7e807cc1bd536fd07573e683d31ebc74e88ad7ff958ff01dfb972af ## 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-genius.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-genius.com 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.
