Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain votes-kinetiq.events was registered on February 27, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (AS13335). DNS resolution points to the address 172.67.153.195, which resolves to a Cloudflare edge node located in the United States. The site presented a single HTML title tag reading "Just a moment..." and did not serve an SSL/TLS certificate, indicating an unencrypted HTTP endpoint. Analysis of public blocklists shows the domain is listed on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, reflecting consensus among threat‑mitigation services that the site is malicious.
The Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further corroborates its low reputation. VirusTotal scans recorded three detections out of ninety‑three scanners, confirming that at least a subset of AV engines flagged the domain as malicious. The site has since been taken offline, as indicated by the current status flag.
While the page title provides no direct evidence of the phishing payload or targeted brand, the combination of registrar information, Cloudflare hosting, lack of TLS, blocklist presence, low trust score, and VirusTotal detections collectively support a high confidence verdict of a phishing‑type operation. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution to votes-kinetiq.events and any traffic to its associated IP address, monitor for re‑registration or resurrection of the domain, and consider adding the IP to network‑wide deny lists. Continuous observation of Cloudflare‑originated IP ranges for similar low‑reputation domains is also recommended, as attackers frequently reuse such infrastructure for rapid‑deployment phishing campaigns.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
11 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
