## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:32:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies polymarket-australia.com as a domain involved in generic_phishing, leveraging the Polymarket brand without authorization, and without any known drainer kit. This domain was flagged due to its low VirusTotal score of 2/95, registration through DEVEXPANSE LTD d/b/a Regery.com, resolution to IP 188.114.97.3, creation on May 18, 2026, and presence on 3 security blocklists, with its current status still active and an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt / E7.

 The technical indicators of polymarket-australia.com show a clear risk, considering its VT score and multiple blocklist appearances, alongside its recent creation and active status, all of which point to a deliberate attempt to deceive users. 

 Despite being flagged and posing a high risk, polymarket-australia.com remains active, necessitating a cautious response from potential users, who should avoid interacting with this domain to minimize the risk of falling victim to its generic_phishing tactics, and instead, rely on verified sources for information regarding Polymarket in Australia.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-C616FB
Favicon MD5:       73b6eb94f3efa51dc45ba4d39933bddb

## 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.
