Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ploymarket.com as a medium-risk generic phishing domain impersonating a popular prediction market platform. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and used to deceive users into exposing sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals the domain resolved to IPv6 address 2606:4700:20::681a:725 and was registered via DropCatch.com 1010 LLC. It appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by four VirusTotal vendors. AlienVault OTX also associates it with one threat intelligence report, while Gridinsoft rates its trust score as zero. Currently, ploymarket.com is offline and no longer resolving. Users should remain vigilant and avoid similar domains that mimic legitimate services. Continued monitoring of related threat activity is recommended to prevent potential credential theft or fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0106d4fd24f36c561cf3e33bea3973e4 TLS cert SHA-256: 4c85a872ada78deed6d0ff9eb853825a73ea0c974de29d580d6b3c5a2606a4cb ## 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 (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/ploymarket.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ploymarket.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
