Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-megafi.com as an active phishing domain masquerading as an online voting platform to harvest user credentials and personal data. This domain was flagged by 9 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors shortly after its May 13, 2026 registration, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. Hosted at 188.114.97.3, the site leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, while its registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com suggests untraceable ownership commonly exploited for short-lived phishing operations. The domain’s recent creation date and low detection rate at initial scan underscore its elevated threat level. With 9 security vendors detecting malicious activity and a high-risk categorization, this portal poses a credible risk to individuals attempting to participate in online voting. The use of a reputable SSL issuer and a hosting provider known for bulletproof domain services further masks its fraudulent nature, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Users who accessed vote-megafi.com should immediately cease any interaction, avoid entering credentials or personal information, and scan connected devices for malware. Report the domain to your security team or use a trusted URL checker to verify legitimacy before any further action. If credentials were entered, change passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts. Organizations are advised to block the domain and IP address at the network perimeter to prevent additional compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260514-C0E660 Favicon MD5: bf57820134b35af7f4f02e9f1ba7cff8 TLS cert SHA-256: bca73c3e87b53c986bdddd2ba8df67dbeedd8fbcaaf9e89149cd42060325a920 ## 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-megafi.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-megafi.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.
