----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: OKX

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      176.125.243.47 (MD, Chisinau)
ASN:             AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL
Hosting org:     Alexhost SRL
Registrar:       NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!!
NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:
  https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real
  https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict

Nameservers:     ns3.my-ndns.com, ns4.my-ndns.com
Registered:      2026-03-22
Page title:      Security Check

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-21 06:20:05 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 19:40:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-08 05:13:46 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:17:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has placed pokerstars-polymarket.com under an active investigation due to its suspected involvement in brand impersonation targeting OKX users. The risk level remains under investigation as the domain demonstrates potential phishing characteristics that warrant caution.

The domain pokerstars-polymarket.com was registered recently on March 20, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 176.125.243.47. Although VirusTotal currently reports zero detections across 95 security vendors, the site uses the page title "Security Check," a tactic commonly employed in brand impersonation scams to lure users into providing sensitive credentials.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify the authenticity of URLs before entering login information. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain closely. Immediate mitigation steps include reporting suspicious activity and using official OKX channels to confirm security concerns.

## 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.
