## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      2a02:4780:b:861:0:2585:f8f8:2 (US, Phoenix)

## 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.

polkabridge.io Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain polkabridge.io is a generic phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. It presents itself as 'Polkabridge Exchange' but does not impersonate a legitimate brand. The site is designed to steal user credentials or funds through cryptocurrency-related scams. As of the latest verification, polkabridge.io has been taken offline, though it previously posed an elevated risk to visitors.

Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of polkabridge.io. The domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including alphaMountain.ai and Gridinsoft, which assigned it a trust score of 0/100. It appears on 4 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolved to the IPv6 address 2a02:4780:b:861:0:2585:f8f8:2, hosted by AS47583 (Hostinger International Limited). The SSL certificate was issued by R11, and the observed page title was 'Polkabridge Exchange'.

Users who interacted with polkabridge.io should immediately revoke any token approvals associated with the site and transfer funds to a new wallet. If credentials were entered, change passwords for all related accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Report the domain to relevant platforms, such as Google Safe Browsing, anti-phishing organizations, or local cybersecurity authorities, to prevent further exploitation.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
