## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-21 07:59:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies voteaster-dex.com as an active cryptocurrency phishing domain designed to deceive users into connecting wallets or revealing seed phrases. The domain mimics legitimate decentralized exchange interfaces to harvest private keys or initiate unauthorized token transfers. Registrant anonymity combined with a recent creation date and zero detection on VirusTotal suggests a fast-evolving threat still under radar.

This domain was flagged on May 13, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and currently shows 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating no AV signatures are yet in place. The use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate adds superficial legitimacy, while the newly registered status and low detection rate increase risk of successful user compromise.

Users who visited voteaster-dex.com should immediately disconnect any connected wallets, revoke any granted permissions via blockchain explorers, and scan devices for malware. Do not enter private keys or passwords on this site. Report the domain to your browser’s safe browsing program and local cybercrime units. Monitor blockchain transaction logs for unauthorized transfers and consider rotating wallet addresses if exposure occurred.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7ba2bec69908efb101d955cbf5000c3f
TLS cert SHA-256:      30a6da7089c7a179f34eb482e6ee16b9b08c774b70c13592f1b140c8bf9d68d2

## 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.
