# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polymarket-trading.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 15:02:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polymarket-trading.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: cloe.ns.cloudflare.com, maxim.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-19 Expires: 2027-07-19 Page title: Polymarket — Prediction Markets ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fe6d74ef11628ad826c95038199e27c77ed414ae2e66ca40f085a972a1f378ea ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-22 17:06:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-22 15:15:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-30 16:20:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-24 12:25:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8a5b-bc88-757d-9d4d-ad0f31a6972a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8719b872-bdfb-4909-9545-74e5e3589475 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polymarket-trading.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polymarket-trading.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polymarket-trading.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polymarket-trading.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polymarket-trading.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-22 17:06:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is polymarket-trading.cc a Phishing Site? The domain polymarket-trading.cc was registered on July 19, 2026 through Global Domain Group LLC and remains active as of the report date, July 22, 2026. It is hosted on Cloudflare’s network, using the nameservers cloe.ns.cloudflare.com and maxim.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Multiple security services have flagged the domain: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL have listed it as blocked, and it appears on three additional security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that two of ninety‑five scanning engines have raised detections against the domain, indicating that at least some security products recognize malicious behavior. The available intelligence does not include details on SSL certificate status, HTTP response codes, page title, or any observed content; therefore the exact payload or landing‑page characteristics remain unverified. Infrastructure analysis points to a typical fast‑flux‑style hosting arrangement using Cloudflare’s CDN, which can obscure the true origin of the malicious content and facilitate rapid redeployment. The combination of recent registration, active blocking by multiple anti‑phishing platforms, and partial detection by VirusTotal suggests a high likelihood that the domain is being used for phishing campaigns, possibly targeting users of the Polymarket platform or related services. Defenders should proactively block polymarket-trading.cc at network perimeter and endpoint filters, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and continue to observe any emerging indicators from sandbox or URL‑reputation services. Given the limited public visibility of the site’s landing page, ongoing reconnaissance and dynamic analysis are recommended to confirm the exact phishing vector and to update detection signatures accordingly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-32AF60 Favicon MD5: 583e89ec1a825f979fab38650deed543 TLS cert SHA-256: fe6d74ef11628ad826c95038199e27c77ed414ae2e66ca40f085a972a1f378ea ## 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/polymarket-trading.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polymarket-trading.cc 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.
