vote-aura[.]finance

Analysis as of July 24, 2026 indicates that the domain vote-aura.finance is currently offline but was previously identified as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. The site presented the page title “Aura Finance · DeFi’s Yield & Liquidity Hub,” suggesting an attempt to masquerade as the legitimate Aura Finance service. The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to the Cloudflare edge address 172.67.207.134, which is hosted in the United States under ASN 13335. No SSL certificate was observed, meaning traffic was not protected by HTTPS during its brief activity window. The domain appears on one public security blocklist and was actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service.

Independent scanning on VirusTotal recorded eleven detections out of ninety‑five security vendors, reinforcing the malicious classification. The associated nameservers, merlin.ns.cloudflare.com and michelle.ns.cloudflare.com, are standard Cloudflare DNS endpoints, offering no indication of separate hosting. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting a high confidence of malicious intent. The listed scam type is “Crypto Scam,” consistent with the deceptive use of the Aura Finance brand in the page title. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact phishing kit employed, the presence of any credential‑stealing forms, and whether the domain was ever reachable via HTTPS.

No evidence of additional infrastructure such as command‑and‑control servers or exfiltration endpoints was recovered. Defenders should continue to monitor the IP address 172.67.207.134 for any future reuse, enforce outbound filtering to block connections to the identified nameservers, and update internal blocklists with the domain and associated IP. Given the Cloudflare registrar, any re‑registration under a different subdomain could appear rapidly, so automated detection based on the observed page title and the eleven‑vendor detection pattern is recommended.
