Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-nu.rest as an active cryptocurrency phishing domain impersonating legitimate platforms to harvest wallet credentials and private keys. The risk level for this domain is elevated due to its confirmed use in phishing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users, with active infrastructure and evasion tactics observed. Immediate action is required to prevent credential compromise and financial loss. This domain was flagged by MetaMask and SEAL, and appears on two security blocklists, indicating widespread recognition of its malicious intent. Registered through DYNADOT LLC on May 21, 2026, the domain resolves to IP 144.31.51.233 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. VirusTotal shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors have detected its malicious nature, highlighting the challenge in early identification and the need for proactive defenses. Cryptocurrency phishing domains like vote-nu.rest leverage social engineering and spoofed interfaces to trick users into entering their wallet credentials or private keys. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and verify the authenticity of any crypto-related websites through official channels. Organizations are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor endpoints for signs of compromise. Implementing browser-based protections and educating users about phishing tactics are critical steps to mitigate the risk posed by this active threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 73adc8049d677e9249b307736e2445ae TLS cert SHA-256: 876d4ebbd6b8d4cbcccb4ad1d401a4fa42918f330e2ef692eeb52fa2291e1ddb ## 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-nu.rest/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-nu.rest 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.
