marketvote.digital was an impersonation phishing site whose only visible branding was the page title "Vote", a lure built around a fake poll or governance ballot. PhishDestroy flagged it on 2026-09-04, the same day the domain was registered. Its listing on crypto-focused blocklists shows it was aimed at cryptocurrency and wallet users. The site has been offline since 2026-09-28, and its DNS was still inactive when we last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Voting-themed impersonation pages ask visitors to "cast a vote" or "verify eligibility" for a project, airdrop or community poll. The vote button is the trap. It leads to a login prompt, a request for a seed phrase, or a wallet connection that ends in signing something the victim did not intend to approve. What the victim loses depends on the step they completed: account credentials, the recovery phrase that controls a wallet, or the funds that a malicious signature unlocks.
Evidence
On 2026-09-14, eight of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar and Sophos. That is a modest count, but the vendors are independent of each other and of the crypto-security community. MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL also listed the site alongside PhishDestroy. These are the blocklists that wallets and Web3 security tools rely on to warn users before they sign. It also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain went from registration to detection within a single day, and the site was gone about three weeks later. That short lifespan fits disposable phishing infrastructure. It was registered through Spaceship, Inc. and hosted at 94.156.114.68 in Germany. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gave the page a padlock, which shows only that the connection was encrypted, not that the operator was legitimate.
What to do
If you entered a seed phrase on this site, treat that wallet as compromised and move any remaining assets to a newly created wallet right away. If you connected a wallet or signed a transaction, review and revoke token approvals with a reputable approval-checking tool. If you typed a password, change it everywhere you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication. Defenders should block the domain and its IP and search proxy and DNS logs for visits between 2026-09-04 and 2026-09-28. They should also watch for new look-alike "vote" domains appearing on the same infrastructure.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
针对受害者的建议与指导
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
我应该立即采取什么措施？
紧急
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
更改所有密码 — 电子邮件、Exchange 账户，以及任何使用同一密码的账户
启用双因素认证 使用身份验证器应用（而非短信）。禁用基于短信的恢复功能
冻结卡片 如果您在钓鱼网站上输入了银行信息
我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections
This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.
The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.
A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
