Nameservers:     ["aria.ns.cloudflare.com", "derek.ns.cloudflare.com"]

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E8

## 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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-01 17:30:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:46:12 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-01 23:11:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:05:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies votes-megaeth.com as a domain that poses a generic phishing threat, although the specific brand it impersonates is not known, it does not appear to be utilizing a drainer kit. This domain has a notable technical footprint, with a VirusTotal score of 3/95, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3, created on May 01, 2026, and found on 4 security blocklists, including being flagged in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse.

 The domain's creation and subsequent flagging by multiple security vendors indicate a potentially significant threat, with its registrar and IP address providing crucial technical indicators, its SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, and its current status as offline, having been taken down. 

 Despite being taken offline, votes-megaeth.com still poses an elevated risk level due to its previous phishing activities, and users should remain cautious, as the domain's owners may attempt to revive or recreate the site, thus it is essential for users to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or any similar sites, to minimize their risk of falling victim to phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       bf57820134b35af7f4f02e9f1ba7cff8
TLS cert SHA-256:      f342c603a3b63a36dd2b4dce240718d5d237b01cb8ba9c6d440e79a7174a0fef

## 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.
