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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 21:55:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 19:57:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-27 00:01:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f057f-4069-71ae-b5ef-6e3b15f4c5a7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/91d5064c-5bbb-4c06-8d7a-bde81ebfb931 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/beta-polyclaude.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.beta-polyclaude.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=beta-polyclaude.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/beta-polyclaude.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/beta-polyclaude.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 00:02:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, beta-polyclaude.xyz, is identified as a crypto drainer threat targeting users of automated trading platforms, specifically impersonating PolyClaude, a legitimate tool for Polymarket. The site presents itself as an "Automated Trading Agent for Polymarket," luring victims into connecting cryptocurrency wallets under the pretense of automated trading or enhanced functionality. Once connected, the malicious infrastructure is designed to execute unauthorized transactions, draining funds from victims' wallets without consent. The threat leverages social engineering tactics, exploiting trust in the PolyClaude brand to facilitate financial theft, a hallmark of crypto drainer operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this assessment. The domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 2.26.254.142, which has been linked to other malicious activities in recent threat intelligence reports. VirusTotal detection rates show 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but notable count that aligns with early-stage or evasive threats. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites, providing a veneer of legitimacy while offering no inherent security assurance. No blocklist entries were observed at the time of analysis, though this may reflect the domain's recent takedown status. Users who visited beta-polyclaude.xyz or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect any cryptocurrency wallets that were linked to the site, as these may remain vulnerable to unauthorized transactions even after the domain is offline. Review all recent wallet activity for unfamiliar transactions, particularly those involving Polymarket or automated trading tools. If funds were transferred, report the incident to relevant blockchain analytics platforms and local cybercrime authorities. Additionally, monitor connected devices for unusual activity, as crypto drainers may deploy secondary payloads. Reset passwords and enable multi-factor authentication for all financial and trading accounts associated with the compromised wallet. Given the elevated risk level, users are advised to treat all interactions with the domain as suspicious and avoid re-engaging with any related infrastructure.

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/beta-polyclaude.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=beta-polyclaude.xyz 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.
