Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vote-yieldbasis.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------

Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Staking Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21

## 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.

First reported:    2026-02-26 23:21:02 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 18:45:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain vote-yieldbasis.com is associated with a generic phishing operation and has a high threat score of 85/100. The site is currently down, indicating it has been taken down or is no longer operational. VirusTotal reports that 9 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, including recognizable names such as Fortinet and Google Safe Browsing, although it is not currently flagged by Google Safe Browsing. The domain is also listed on 2 public blocklists.

No registrar data is available, suggesting the domain may use privacy protection or has been scrubbed. Additionally, the hosting IP has not resolved, indicating it may be dormant or already sinkholed. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and was first detected on 2026-02-26. Block the domain at the perimeter and submit it to the registrar abuse desk for further investigation.

## 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.
