No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-24 18:21:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 01:40:19 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc012-9638-734f-ab19-7ba8ed5576c7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-xitadel.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-xitadel.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-xitadel.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-xitadel.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-xitadel.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-24 18:22:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-xitadel.xyz as an active generic phishing domain deployed in a low-detection campaign targeting unsuspecting users. The domain exhibits no affiliation with established brands or drainer kits, suggesting a generic lure likely leveraging urgency or impersonation. Technical artifacts align with opportunistic phishing rather than a sophisticated operation, but early-stage campaigns often escalate rapidly as threat actors refine tactics. Users should exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain or any associated links. This domain was flagged on April 22, 2026, via seed ed0175 and exhibits multiple indicators of active exploitation. VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 security vendor detections, indicating minimal detection coverage despite clear malicious intent. It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, and holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unflagged, and no known blocklists have yet categorized this domain. The absence of detections and recent registration date suggest a newly launched campaign with high potential for rapid expansion. The campaign remains active as of the latest assessment, with no active takedown or mitigation observed. Immediate response is critical: users should block the domain at network and endpoint levels, report to relevant authorities (e.g., CERT, domain registrar, and security vendors), and avoid accessing any content hosted on 188.114.97.3 or vote-xitadel.xyz. Remaining risk is assessed as HIGH due to low detection coverage, recent activation, and potential for rapid campaign evolution. Threat intelligence teams are advised to monitor for derivative domains, infrastructure shifts, or the emergence of drainer scripts. This investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as new intelligence emerges. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 465f6e6b0c449a64070e996f0dfa5507 TLS cert SHA-256: fac339b05af72fd0177c6457eb1f9a0e3d73771e82365c7064bd66b890a1da96 ## 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-xitadel.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-xitadel.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.
