Is polygon.markets a Phishing Site?

The domain polygon.markets is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure. Registration data shows the domain was registered through Dynadot Inc, and its authoritative DNS is served by 5014.ns1.abovedomains.com and 5014.ns2.abovedomains.com. HTTP probing returns a 200 OK response, indicating a live web server is reachable. Reputation checks reveal that the domain appears on one public security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that security operators have taken mitigation steps.

VirusTotal scans report that three out of ninety‑one antivirus or URL scanning engines flag the domain as malicious, providing independent corroboration of its malicious nature. No additional context such as page title, SSL certificate details, or hosting IP address is presently available, limiting the ability to attribute the infrastructure to a specific campaign or geographic location. The lack of further intelligence means that defenders cannot yet map the full command‑and‑control topology or identify the actors behind the operation.

However, the combination of active hosting, blocklist presence, and multiple vendor detections establishes a clear risk. Organizations should block polygon.markets at the DNS and proxy layers, monitor outbound traffic for connections to the domain, and consider adding it to internal URL filtering rules. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the threat actor may modify hosting or page content, and additional detections could emerge from future scans.

## 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.
