## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-21 14:37:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

votes-degen.space is a recently active phishing domain disguised as a cryptocurrency voting platform, designed to trick users into revealing sensitive wallet credentials or personal information. The domain mimics legitimate crypto-related services to exploit trust and harvest financial data. If you encounter this site, do not interact with it and assume any entered details are compromised.  PhishDestroy identifies this threat through multiple technical indicators. The domain was registered on May 20, 2024, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a common registrar for malicious domains. It currently shows zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans, highlighting its evasiveness against detection systems. The site operates on IP address 104.21.5.235 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Its recent creation date suggests it is part of a fast-moving campaign targeting crypto users.  If you visited votes-degen.space, immediately disconnect from the internet, scan your device for malware using updated antivirus software, and revoke any credentials entered. Report the domain to your cybersecurity team or platform provider. Monitor financial accounts closely for unauthorized transactions. Avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails or messages referencing this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260521-C802C6
Favicon MD5:       b9126fc982d3aae191580b1b154d3637
TLS cert SHA-256:      19bb1973d266d0476844df890fee4e0676268c86187ea7f6c0105a7f6316cc35

## 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.
