Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies x-vote.icu as an active domain under investigation for potential crypto drainer activity. This site is designed to trick visitors into connecting cryptocurrency wallets or entering private keys under false pretenses, such as fake voting portals or reward claims. Unsuspecting users may lose digital assets if they interact with wallet connection prompts or share sensitive credentials on this platform. This domain was flagged with 0 out of 95 VirusTotal detections, indicating it has evaded immediate antivirus detection as of analysis time. It was registered on April 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, secured by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. These technical markers suggest a recently established, possibly automated setup aimed at low-profile fraudulent operations. If you visited x-vote.icu, do not connect any wallets or enter private keys. Disconnect your device from the internet, clear browser cache and cookies, and scan your system with updated antivirus software. Immediately check your blockchain transactions for unauthorized transfers. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for verification and share your network logs if compromised. Avoid reusing passwords across platforms and consider rotating wallet credentials if exposure occurred. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260425-628054 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: c29aac517023115968d827a4c66ef70334868eddd7ed59ee421273502a5fc9b1 ## 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/x-vote.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x-vote.icu 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.
