Fingerprint: 3332232a8f92c1f73136454c1be875013febc38b2147e6800f4d4028bf34e349

## 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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-09 15:28:07 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:01:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a specific threat as a crypto drainer, attempting to trick users into divulging sensitive information or installing malicious software. 
   
   The evidence against vote-usduc.xyz is substantial, with 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, and it is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, which has been associated with numerous other phishing domains, created as recently as May 09, 2026, and found on 4 security blocklists. 

   If users visited vote-usduc.xyz, they should immediately check their devices for any signs of malware or unauthorized transactions, and verify the authenticity of the website on PhishDestroy to ensure their safety, considering the domain is currently offline but may be revived or have similar counterparts, and taking proactive measures such as updating antivirus software and being cautious of similar domains

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       289ca844f56028a166ec70167eb7ec1d
TLS cert SHA-256:      3332232a8f92c1f73136454c1be875013febc38b2147e6800f4d4028bf34e349

## 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.
