# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vote-walletconnect.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 08:37:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vote-walletconnect.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: WalletConnect ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.157.110 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-08 Expires: 2027-06-08 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 98d5201e60600ff4741511ad36696a14fec608616a344ffe689250f36c5d504c ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 22:36:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 20:38:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb58-c88e-7277-b30f-bd83861b704d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c3d1ae1c-8d09-4619-8d37-ee5a8eb4f024 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-walletconnect.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-walletconnect.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-walletconnect.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-walletconnect.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-walletconnect.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 22:44:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vote-walletconnect.xyz, is an active cryptocurrency drainer infrastructure designed to facilitate unauthorized asset transfers. The domain masquerades as a legitimate WalletConnect service, a protocol commonly used for secure blockchain interactions. Threat intelligence indicates that this infrastructure is part of a broader campaign targeting users of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and cryptocurrency wallets. The drainer kit deployed on this domain leverages social engineering tactics, likely through phishing emails or malicious advertisements, to trick users into connecting their wallets and approving fraudulent transactions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.157.110 and is hosted on Cloudflare nameservers adam.ns.cloudflare.com and danica.ns.cloudflare.com. Registration was conducted through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, with the domain created on June 08, 2026. Security vendor detection via VirusTotal shows a low but significant score of 2/95, while the domain appears on 2 security blocklists, including Google Safe Browsing (GSB). The combination of recent registration, Cloudflare hosting, and low detection rate suggests a rapidly evolving threat designed to evade initial screening mechanisms. Current status monitoring confirms the domain remains active and operational as of the latest assessment. Immediate response actions include the addition of this domain to all active threat intelligence feeds, firewall rules, and DNS sinkholing to prevent user exposure. Despite these mitigations, the domain’s recency and low vendor detection rate pose a persistent risk. Users are advised to avoid interactions with this domain, verify connection requests via out-of-band channels, and ensure wallet software is updated with the latest security patches. The high-risk classification remains justified due to the domain’s active status and the potential for further malicious campaigns leveraging similar infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-4E8D59 Favicon MD5: 17b39e41e53f8a7085bef34f0af5b79d TLS cert SHA-256: 98d5201e60600ff4741511ad36696a14fec608616a344ffe689250f36c5d504c ## 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-walletconnect.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-walletconnect.xyz 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.
