## 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: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-04-14 22:11:43 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 21:25:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 13:53:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 01:11:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified vote-sparkfi.xyz as a recently activated domain potentially engaged in crypto drainer operations. The site masquerades as a legitimate platform, specifically targeting users in the cryptocurrency space by luring them into connecting wallets or providing seed phrases under false pretenses. Initial analysis suggests this domain is actively resolving to IP 188.114.97.3 and is already flagged by one prominent security blocklist, indicating growing malicious activity.  This domain was flagged by ScamSniffer and registered on April 14, 2026 — less than a month ago — through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. VirusTotal currently reports zero detections (0/95), meaning mainstream antivirus engines have not yet flagged it. Despite the lack of widespread detection, the presence of a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate may enhance its credibility to unsuspecting users. The combination of a newly registered domain, low detection rate, and active blocklisting underscores the need for immediate caution.  If you’ve visited vote-sparkfi.xyz, do not enter any credentials, connect your wallet, or provide crypto-related information. Disconnect from the site, revoke any wallet connections if prompted, and scan your device for malware. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for further analysis. Always verify links and domains independently before interacting, especially those involving cryptocurrency transactions.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260414-2A1BB0
Favicon MD5:       4d78024d39568c7e88594599aad487eb
TLS cert SHA-256:      d7b7c3ba06c72486819f6c91ec8bda70d8007f9d716a8546bb6b28ec015f769e

## 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.
