kalshi.com.ro Fake Exchange Alert

Analysis of the domain kalshi.com.ro shows an active infrastructure supporting a high‑risk generic phishing campaign classified as a Fake Exchange. The domain was registered on June 07, 2026 through Netim and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (nameservers alberto.ns.cloudflare.com and mia.ns.cloudflare.com, IP address 188.114.96.3, ASN AS13335, United States). The site presents a placeholder page with the title “Website kalshi.com.ro is ready. The content is to be added” and serves over HTTPS using a Google Trust Services / WE1 certificate. VirusTotal records indicate that one of 91 security vendors flagged the domain, and the domain appears on three external blocklists. Additional threat‑intel sources list it in a single AlienVault OTX pulse and assign a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100, confirming a malicious reputation. The domain is already blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. While the exact phishing landing page content has not been observed, the classification as a Fake Exchange suggests the site may be used to lure victims into providing credentials or financial information under the pretense of a trading platform. Defenders should add kalshi.com.ro to URL filtering and DNS blocklists, monitor for related traffic to the Cloudflare IP, and enforce SSL inspection to detect any potential payload. Continuous observation is recommended to capture any future content changes that could clarify the specific tactics employed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       dcf0e3be7953284946563704fa813a4b
TLS cert SHA-256:      4699312ca148747d4a96ed9b64b81ee0c2631f4f3609aa0b51064c886e14936b

## 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.
