Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain vote-usduc.com is classified as a high-risk phishing threat. It is designed to deceive users by presenting itself under the guise of 'unstable coin', which suggests a financial theme likely intended to exploit users' trust in cryptocurrency. The active status of this domain presents an ongoing risk to users who may inadvertently provide sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss or identity theft. Technical analysis of vote-usduc.com reveals several critical indicators of malicious activity. The domain was created on May 06, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.206.139. VirusTotal analysis shows that 4 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, indicating a recognized threat within the security community. Additionally, the domain is blocked by several security tools, including MetaMask, SEAL, and BLP-Malware, and appears on three distinct security blocklists. The presence of an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt does not mitigate the risk, as phishing sites often use such certificates to appear legitimate. To mitigate the risks associated with vote-usduc.com, users should exercise caution when encountering domains related to cryptocurrency, especially those with unfamiliar or suspicious names. Implementing robust security measures, such as using comprehensive antivirus software and enabling browser protections that block known phishing sites, can help reduce exposure. Organizations should ensure their employees are trained to recognize phishing attempts and should consider deploying email filtering solutions to prevent phishing emails from reaching end users. Regularly updating security protocols and maintaining awareness of emerging threats are critical steps in safeguarding sensitive information against phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 414666c9f4bc1ddb87ed3eddf9fc23edfa07cb0b3ded741ae293ef3072c69fec ## 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 (operator 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-usduc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-usduc.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
