Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/votes-onyx.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
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:      2026-05-25

## 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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-26 05:30:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:48:31 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-27 12:11:52 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 16:18:34 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-onyx.com, is identified as a credential theft operation targeting cryptocurrency wallet users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials, seed phrases, or private keys through deceptive wallet interfaces or phishing pages. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the domain structure and naming convention suggest an intent to mimic legitimate crypto-related services or platforms.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It is currently flagged by 3 security blocklists and detected by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain resolves to no publicly disclosed IP address at this time, and its status in Google Safe Browsing remains unconfirmed. The creation date, set in the future, may indicate an attempt to evade detection or appear legitimate during initial scans.  As of the latest assessment, votes-onyx.com remains active and poses a high risk to users. The domain is blocked by multiple security frameworks, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting, monitoring for associated IP changes, and user education on recognizing credential theft tactics. Despite existing mitigations, the domain's persistence and lack of takedown increase the likelihood of continued exploitation attempts.

## 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.
