# PhishDestroy threat dossier — votes-apyxfi.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 23:26:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/votes-apyxfi.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 196.251.107.102 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS214351 FEMO IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED Hosting org: Femo IT Solutions Limited 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: ns1.desec.io, ns2.desec.org Registered: 2026-07-01 Expires: 2027-07-01 Page title: Apyx ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 180e9560528b6b6da76d0f62615c3c28931475ca01148779912ffbed34fe9162 ## 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: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 17:13:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 16:03:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2889-ddcd-73bb-ac37-cced04aaf0e2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/373bbd36-4703-4c12-bc41-59e018c655a0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/votes-apyxfi.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.votes-apyxfi.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=votes-apyxfi.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/votes-apyxfi.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/votes-apyxfi.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 17:14:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain votes-apyxfi.app is actively engaged in cryptocurrency phishing, specifically impersonating the Apyx platform to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or transferring digital assets. As of the latest verification, this domain remains operational and continues to pose a significant threat to individuals interacting with cryptocurrency services. The page title displayed is 'Apyx,' reinforcing the attempt to mimic legitimate Apyx-related interfaces or communications. Analysis indicates this domain is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a relatively low detection rate that may suggest evasion techniques or recent deployment. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on July 01, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration that may indicate domain generation algorithm (DGA) abuse or falsified records. The domain resolves to the IP address 196.251.107.102, hosted in a region with historically high concentrations of phishing infrastructure. It appears on two independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by at least two cryptocurrency security tools. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a superficial layer of legitimacy that may mislead non-technical users. Current infrastructure analysis reveals the domain remains active and accessible, with no indication of takedown or mitigation. Users are strongly advised to avoid interaction with votes-apyxfi.app and any associated subdomains or links. Organizations should update web filters, endpoint protection rules, and email security policies to block this domain and its resolved IP address. Cryptocurrency wallet providers and exchanges are recommended to monitor for transaction attempts linked to this domain and implement real-time blocking mechanisms. Given the future-dated registration and low detection rate, continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is essential to detect potential migration to new domains or IPs. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-1CD6D8 Favicon MD5: c15f8aa7f11e11100592b67eecefccc2 TLS cert SHA-256: 180e9560528b6b6da76d0f62615c3c28931475ca01148779912ffbed34fe9162 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/votes-apyxfi.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=votes-apyxfi.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
