## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 23:14:07 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-walletconnect.xyz impersonates the WalletConnect brand to facilitate credential theft or phishing attacks. The site likely presents a fake login or authorization interface designed to capture cryptocurrency wallet credentials or private keys, posing a direct threat to users' digital assets.

Technical analysis shows the domain has 3 out of 95 VirusTotal detections, flagged by alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Fortinet. It is registered with PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, hosted on IP 188.114.96.3, created on 2026-06-24, and uses nameservers adam.ns.cloudflare.com and danica.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain status is ACTIVE.

The site remains active and poses a high risk to individuals targeted by WalletConnect-themed phishing campaigns. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and report it to relevant blocklists or security teams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-59E883
Favicon MD5:       17b39e41e53f8a7085bef34f0af5b79d
TLS cert SHA-256:      462219599deeefa2115bef4b77b59408374bf85c3e539b99b9cbbcf18bba7bff

## 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.
