## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:08:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pollymarket.us as an active phishing domain impersonating Polymarket, a popular prediction market platform. This site poses a significant threat to users by attempting to steal sensitive credentials and personal information through deceptive tactics. The urgency is heightened by its ongoing activity and presence on multiple security blocklists, indicating confirmed malicious intent tied to this domain.

The domain pollymarket.us was registered recently, on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.73.221. It is flagged in one AlienVault OTX pulse and is listed on two security blocklists, which corroborates its malicious use. Additionally, VirusTotal analysis shows that 16 out of 95 security vendors currently detect this domain as suspicious or harmful. The page title mimics the legitimate platform's branding to deceive users into trusting the site.

Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting pollymarket.us and to exercise caution when interacting with links or emails referencing Polymarket. Always verify URLs directly through official sources and do not enter personal or financial information on suspicious websites. Employing updated security tools and reporting such domains to relevant platforms can help reduce exposure to these phishing threats.

## 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.
