## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-02

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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.

market.polydistrib.com — Fake Retail Portal Phishing Report

This domain, market.polydistrib.com, is actively engaged in a fake retail portal phishing operation designed to deceive online shoppers into entering sensitive credentials and payment details. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate e-commerce platforms, presenting fraudulent checkout pages that harvest user input for subsequent exploitation. The threat primarily targets consumers seeking discounted products, redirecting them to cloned storefronts that closely resemble authentic retailers, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful credential theft and financial fraud.  Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 02, 2026, through NameCheap, a registrar frequently associated with phishing domains due to its accessibility and low-cost registration options. VirusTotal detection metrics show 19 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, with signatures identifying it as a phishing endpoint. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its classification as a threat. Historical DNS records and SSL certificate analysis indicate rapid deployment and short-lived hosting patterns, typical of phishing campaigns aiming to evade detection and takedown efforts.  Users who have visited market.polydistrib.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action to mitigate risk. First, reset passwords for any accounts accessed while on the domain, prioritizing email, banking, and e-commerce platforms. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an additional security layer. Monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to the relevant financial institution. Clear browser cache and cookies to remove any stored session data, and run a full antivirus scan to detect potential malware infections. If payment details were entered, consider placing a fraud alert on credit files and contacting the appropriate credit bureaus to prevent unauthorized credit applications.

## 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.
