# PhishDestroy threat dossier — voting-based.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-14 13:47:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/voting-based.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Hyperliquid ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.179.250 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. 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: 2026-05-04 Page title: Based | Trade on Hyperliquid, Buy, Sell & Spend Crypto ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d42c0bc91a178e12c558749568f3ba490cf4199cd1c72e8bbd6847c85945e885 ## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 02:00:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-06 23:06:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-12 13:40:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 12:44:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dff84-4340-7027-9d30-43f26ad7690d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7e538556-0020-4053-b1d3-565bc9a4f9e8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/voting-based.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.voting-based.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=voting-based.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/voting-based.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/voting-based.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 02:02:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies voting-based.com as an active crypto-draining phishing site that simulates a voting portal to harvest wallet credentials and drain assets. This domain is currently live and weaponized, with no mitigations detected. All users are advised to avoid interaction and report sightings to PhishDestroy for takedown requests. Domain Name: voting-based.com Threat Type: Generic phishing aimed at crypto drainer delivery Status: Active Brand Impersonated: Generic voting portal (no specific entity named) Technical Indicators: This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to IP 172.67.179.250, issued an SSL certificate by Let’s Encrypt, and created on May 04, 2026. Trust scores are low, with zero blocklist presence noted at the time of analysis. The certificate chain and domain age suggest an opportunistic campaign rather than an established spoof of a well-known brand. Risk Assessment: The elevated risk stems from the domain’s recent creation paired with active SSL and resolved IP hosting, which increases the likelihood of user deception in unsuspecting visitors. The use of a crypto drainer payload is inferred from the fake voting portal flow, a common lure for wallet credential theft. There are no current indicators of domain suspension or registrar action. Users who connect wallets or enter seed phrases risk irreversible asset loss. Actionable Guidance: Immediately block voting-based.com at DNS, firewall, and browser levels. Users who visited should disconnect wallets, revoke any connected permissions via blockchain explorers, and scan devices with updated AV tools. Report all interactions to PhishDestroy for investigative triage and takedown escalation. Monitor wallet connections for unauthorized transactions within 24 hours of exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260506-899A35 Favicon MD5: d95b10a688409db7ad8abbca2a0bf05b TLS cert SHA-256: d42c0bc91a178e12c558749568f3ba490cf4199cd1c72e8bbd6847c85945e885 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/voting-based.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=voting-based.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
