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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 13:55:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4193-bae8-751b-8146-121504b35b00/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b94fef6f-7ae0-4a15-b924-b2becaa832c6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kalshi-vs-polymarket.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kalshi-vs-polymarket.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kalshi-vs-polymarket.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kalshi-vs-polymarket.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kalshi-vs-polymarket.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:00:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain kalshi-vs-polymarket.com has been identified as part of a generic phishing campaign involving a specific threat type known as a crypto drainer. This domain is actively engaged in deceptive practices that may target potential victims by impersonating known brands in the cryptocurrency exchange market. The web page disguises itself with a title suggesting a legitimate comparison between Kalshi and Polymarket for 2026, thereby misleading users into trusting the content presented. Detailed technical analysis reveals that the domain was registered on June 25, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar often targeted for similar nefarious activities. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.55.249. It has been detected by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a relatively low initial flagging rate, but this does not necessarily reflect the site's true risk level. Additionally, it has been included in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, further emphasizing its association with harmful activities. Given these indicators, stakeholders should exercise caution and take preventive measures to avoid potential losses. As the domain remains active, it poses a high risk to individuals who may inadvertently disclose sensitive information. Immediate action is recommended for users who suspect interaction with this domain: cease all communications, conduct a thorough assessment of system security, and consult cybersecurity professionals as needed. Organizations are advised to update their security filters to recognize this and similarly structured phishing domains. Continuous monitoring and improved threat intelligence collaboration are crucial in mitigating these risks effectively. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 83a2682024f4c84b2d1cb55b27e265b4 TLS cert SHA-256: ece5bcae18ebb1c707b0f8771a228eabd42aed2f01eddf3f6f62cbb39c209da7 ## 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 (operator 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/kalshi-vs-polymarket.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kalshi-vs-polymarket.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
