Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-19 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 519cf89c7dd4804b918b563fb03b055763c2c7dd7356a6c50714a0ca96365b5d ## 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: 2026-03-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-24 22:33:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-24 19:34:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:26:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2154-0449-728e-89a1-1f5a6d80fd3c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/58983802-c077-4190-8d9a-5a30eef08f70 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-maplefinance.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-maplefinance.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-maplefinance.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-maplefinance.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-maplefinance.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-25 20:02:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-maplefinance.xyz as a generic phishing domain actively engaging in deceptive practices to trick users. The site is classified under medium risk due to its ongoing activity and potential to harvest sensitive information. The page title "Just a moment..." is commonly used in fraudulent sites to mask malicious intent and delay user suspicion. Technical analysis reveals that vote-maplefinance.xyz resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Despite its recent creation date in March 2026, the domain has already been flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating emerging concerns. Additionally, its Gridinsoft trust score is notably low at 0/100, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. The domain’s infrastructure and registration details align with typical phishing setups designed to evade immediate detection. Currently, vote-maplefinance.xyz remains active and poses a medium-level threat to users who might be targeted for credential theft or other scams. PhishDestroy recommends users exercise caution, refrain from entering personal or financial data, and monitor their accounts for unusual activity if interaction has already occurred. Ongoing monitoring and takedown requests are advised to mitigate further exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260324-D441CD Favicon MD5: b70a2f52c8236d55565c2fc630baef35 TLS cert SHA-256: 519cf89c7dd4804b918b563fb03b055763c2c7dd7356a6c50714a0ca96365b5d ## 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-maplefinance.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-maplefinance.xyz 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.
