Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-hydrex.info as a live fake voting portal engaged in a generic phishing campaign designed to steal credentials and personal data from unsuspecting users. The domain mimics an official-looking voting or survey page to trick visitors into entering sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or financial details. Once submitted, the data is harvested by attackers for fraudulent activities including identity theft, unauthorized account access, or further phishing attacks. Given the active status and lack of detection by 95 VirusTotal scanners, the threat is real and users should avoid interacting with the site entirely. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on May 7, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a common registrar used by low-cost domain campaigns. It resolves to IP address 104.21.6.101 and uses a legitimate Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections across 95 scanning engines, indicating that signature-based defenses have not yet caught up to this threat. The domain’s recent creation and clean reputation score suggest it is part of a rapidly deployed phishing operation targeting voting-related trust signals. The use of a free SSL certificate further lowers user suspicion, making this a sophisticated and deceptive setup. If you have already visited vote-hydrex.info, do not enter any personal information. Immediately close the browser tab and clear your browsing data for that site. Check your email accounts, bank statements, and any linked services for unusual activity. If you reused passwords, change them immediately and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or use PhishDestroy’s reporting tool to help block it for others. Stay vigilant—fake voting portals often appear during election periods or after major news events to exploit public trust. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-6B05CF Favicon MD5: 7229dcf784d39e08ad2558499c16c6d7 TLS cert SHA-256: d21ef64212e9f5a7d728954738a8cfac273799fc6c814cd6deec83f0cb6ebb73 ## 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-hydrex.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-hydrex.info 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.
