Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["oswald.ns.cloudflare.com", "vita.ns.cloudflare.com"] Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-08-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6caf178e6ce4146a7f7156f40829238fa6a12313cc45033e329104dee373e3d9 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 20:43:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 09:34:07 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 20:44:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] polygate.xyz Safety Check — Phishing Detected polygate.xyz is currently classified as a generic phishing site with a high risk rating. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026, and is registered through NameCheap, Inc. VirusTotal analysis shows that three out of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating partial detection across the threat‑intelligence ecosystem. HTTP probing returned a 403 response, which may be used to obscure content while still serving malicious payloads to targeted browsers. The domain is listed on three public blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, demonstrating that multiple defensive products have recognized it as hostile. Nameserver resolution points to oswald.ns.cloudflare.com and vita.ns.cloudflare.com, both operated by Cloudflare, a common hosting choice for both legitimate and malicious actors. The combination of registrar information, partial vendor detections, and blocklist presence provides sufficient evidence for defensive teams to treat traffic to polygate.xyz as malicious. However, the limited number of vendor detections and the lack of publicly disclosed page title or content analysis mean that the full scope of the phishing campaign—such as targeted brands, credential‑stealing techniques, or infrastructure depth—remains unknown. Defenders should therefore enforce outbound filtering to deny connections to the domain, add its IP ranges to intrusion‑prevention signatures, and monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as additional detections or content disclosures may emerge that expand the threat profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6caf178e6ce4146a7f7156f40829238fa6a12313cc45033e329104dee373e3d9 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polygate.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polygate.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
