# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vote-tangent.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 11:15:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vote-tangent.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:51:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 12:34:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e10-e146-74c9-9979-fa84a21f3189/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bbf85c95-e3da-41ec-be41-5d0c81b6acd8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-tangent.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-tangent.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-tangent.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-tangent.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-tangent.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 13:55:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is identified as a high-risk phishing site designed to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials. Analysis indicates it mimics legitimate wallet interfaces to deceive users into entering private keys or seed phrases, which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled infrastructure. The domain specifically targets users of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, where stolen credentials can result in immediate and irreversible asset theft. Given the financial nature of the threat, affected users may experience direct monetary loss within minutes of interaction. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other phishing campaigns in recent months. The domain is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on 2 security blocklists, including those maintained by cryptocurrency security entities. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, is commonly abused in phishing operations to lend false credibility to malicious sites. If a user has visited vote-tangent.live or entered any sensitive information, immediate action is required. First, disconnect the affected device from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration. Next, revoke any active sessions or approvals granted to decentralized applications (dApps) via the compromised wallet. Users should transfer all remaining assets to a new, secure wallet using a different device to avoid potential malware persistence. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Report the incident to relevant security teams and consider filing a report with local cybercrime authorities to aid in tracking the threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-8696DA Favicon MD5: dac6d01342cfd6d9e63b49764094bd0c TLS cert SHA-256: f5ed2f6fba3d35ed11afca2a2fdf58028af95d9b766378c0489ba3d6b2edb94e ## 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-tangent.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-tangent.live 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.
