Verdict

vote-nu.rest is a confirmed fake login site built for credential phishing

vote-nu.rest is a young domain (150 days old) that independent threat intelligence describes as a confirmed fake login site and a high-risk generic phishing domain, with 12 antivirus families reporting adverse results. The site's own pages could not be read at scan time, so its live content was not reviewed, but the combination of external phishing confirmations and multi-vendor detections places it firmly in the Dangerous band.

Do not visit vote-nu.rest and do not enter any username, password, email address or other personal information on it. If you have already submitted credentials there, change the password for the affected account immediately and enable multi-factor authentication. Treat any message or link that sent you to this domain as hostile, and report the phishing attempt to the impersonated service and to your email provider.

Investigation Brief

vote-nu.rest is a young domain (150 days old) that independent threat intelligence describes as a confirmed fake login site and a high-risk generic phishing domain, with 12 antivirus families reporting adverse results. The site's own pages could not be read at scan time, so its live content was not reviewed, but the combination of external phishing confirmations and multi-vendor detections places it firmly in the Dangerous band.

Threat intelligence confirms a fake login operation

Independent threat intelligence sources have assessed vote-nu.rest as a confirmed fake login site and a high-risk domain used for generic phishing with a focus on fake login attacks. This is direct operator-level evidence that the domain exists to impersonate legitimate login pages and capture credentials.

Technical scanning adds weight: 12 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain. That is a broad, multi-vendor detection signal rather than a single flag, and it comes from a saved observation rather than a new submission.

One research record also notes a finishing URL pointing to Google News, which is consistent with phishing pages that redirect to a benign-looking destination after capturing input. The exact credential-harvesting mechanism beyond that redirect could not be fully observed because the site returned no readable HTTP response during the scan.

What was and was not observed

The registrable domain is only 150 days old, a short track record that is common for disposable phishing infrastructure. The page content itself could not be read because the request timed out after 30 seconds, so the site's own page, contact, About and policy text was never reviewed.

The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, and the saved TLS check did not validate the connection. A clean safe-browsing result only means no active warning was recorded at that moment; it does not clear a domain that independent sources and antivirus vendors already describe as phishing infrastructure.

Why the score is 12

12 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Investigation story

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. What the site claims

    Independent evidence classifies the site as login portal, but the page's own claim could not be captured.

  2. What we observed

    The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.

  3. What independent research found

    3 external findings were saved and compared with the page evidence.

  4. What remains unverified

    2 of the 4 applicable core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

What this means for you

What happens if a visitor interacts with this site

A visitor who reaches vote-nu.rest and enters credentials on what appears to be a legitimate login page is interacting with a domain independently assessed as a confirmed fake login site used for phishing. The likely outcome is that those credentials are captured by the operator rather than used to log the visitor in.

How the observed mechanism works

The evidence-backed path

Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.

  1. The observed flow ends with a redirect to Google News, a tactic that can make the interaction feel ordinary after the visitor has already submitted information. Because the site's own pages could not be read, the exact fields presented and any post-submission steps could not be independently reviewed.

Do not visit vote-nu.rest and do not enter any username, password, email address or other personal information on it. If you have already submitted credentials there, change the password for the affected account immediately and enable multi-factor authentication. Treat any message or link that sent you to this domain as hostile, and report the phishing attempt to the impersonated service and to your email provider.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is vote-nu.rest a scam or a legit website?
vote-nu.rest is a dangerous phishing site — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing. 14 of 91 security engines flag it (13 as outright malicious). The domain is only 5 months old through Dynadot, LLC — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is vote-nu.rest safe to use?
No — vote-nu.rest has a Safety Score of 12/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
What should I do if I already gave my details to vote-nu.rest?
If you've already paid or handed over details on vote-nu.rest, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on vote-nu.rest and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from vote-nu.rest?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did vote-nu.rest steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on vote-nu.rest, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report vote-nu.rest?
You can report vote-nu.rest through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does vote-nu.rest look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has vote-nu.rest been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 14 of 91 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged vote-nu.rest, 13 of them as outright malicious in the saved analysis from September 22, 2026. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is vote-nu.rest on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — vote-nu.rest is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the vote-nu.rest domain?
vote-nu.rest is 5 months old, registered on May 21, 2026 through Dynadot, LLC. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Where is vote-nu.rest hosted?
vote-nu.rest resolves to an IP operated by SERV.HOST GROUP LTD in DE (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the vote-nu.rest report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 19, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about vote-nu.rest has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
