# PhishDestroy threat dossier — votes-apyx.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 16:14:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/votes-apyx.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.173.101 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2027-06-24 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3d1170b23330b0e848d3d19a2af6359a42a9afd6bdcdbca35fe3e1be1655ff3f ## 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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:03:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 12:35:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e1c-13f3-70e4-b6f2-c002a72ec271/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9900c035-71d9-41a9-83da-4919eeed3518 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/votes-apyx.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.votes-apyx.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=votes-apyx.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/votes-apyx.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/votes-apyx.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:05:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain votes-apyx.app is flagged for generic phishing operations that target user credentials through deceptive interfaces mimicking legitimate services. Infrastructure analysis reveals active resolution to 172.67.173.101 combined with SSL issuance from Google Trust Services, enabling encrypted delivery of malicious content while maintaining an appearance of legitimacy. The risk level is assessed as high due to confirmed presence on two security blocklists and explicit blocking by MetaMask along with SEAL. Detection data shows exactly 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors identifying malicious patterns on votes-apyx.app. Registration records list creation on June 24 2026 through registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Current status remains active with continued IP resolution, indicating ongoing deployment rather than a transient artifact. Visitors should immediately revoke any credentials submitted on the domain, enable multi-factor authentication on associated accounts, and scan local systems for unauthorized processes. Network logs should be reviewed for connections to 172.67.173.101 while avoiding all future resolution of the domain to prevent repeated exposure to the identified threat vector. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-57B74E Favicon MD5: c15f8aa7f11e11100592b67eecefccc2 TLS cert SHA-256: 3d1170b23330b0e848d3d19a2af6359a42a9afd6bdcdbca35fe3e1be1655ff3f ## 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/votes-apyx.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=votes-apyx.app 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.
