# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polymarket-uk.co.uk ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 21:11:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polymarket-uk.co.uk/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 69.46.46.73 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS400940 Railway Registrar: Namecheap, Inc. [Tag = NAMECHEAP-INC] Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-04-17 Expires: 2027-04-17 Page title: Polymarket UK — Is It Available & Legal in 2026? ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5cd842681509fd5b46ccd1b632ff912ee17aae84abee3ac72aa0b60090aaedb0 ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 14:27:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 12:29:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 20:20:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edab2-165c-709b-9445-b8771c24a827/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/34ec560f-0940-40a6-970b-aef573d7fa0c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polymarket-uk.co.uk crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polymarket-uk.co.uk Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polymarket-uk.co.uk AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polymarket-uk.co.uk URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polymarket-uk.co.uk/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:26:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] polymarket-uk.co.uk: Crypto Drainer Impersonation Threat This domain, polymarket-uk.co.uk, is flagged as a high-risk crypto drainer impersonation threat targeting users of decentralized prediction markets. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive visitors into connecting wallets or entering private keys, enabling unauthorized asset transfers. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with known crypto drainer campaigns, including the use of brand impersonation and urgency-driven messaging (e.g., "Is It Available & Legal in 2026?"). Given the active status and targeted nature of the threat, users are at significant risk of financial loss if they engage with the site. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 17, 2026, through Namecheap, Inc. (registrar tag: NAMECHEAP-INC), a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 69.46.46.73, hosted on AS400940 (Railway) in the United States. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YE1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Detection metrics further underscore the threat: the domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The page title, "Polymarket UK — Is It Available & Legal in 2026?", suggests an attempt to exploit user curiosity about regulatory status, a tactic often employed to lower victim skepticism. Mitigation measures specific to this crypto drainer impersonation threat include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (69.46.46.73) at the network level. Users should be educated to verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources, particularly for decentralized platforms where impersonation is rampant. Wallet providers are advised to integrate real-time blocklist checks to prevent connections to known malicious domains. Additionally, organizations should monitor for similar domains registered through Namecheap or hosted on AS400940, as these indicators may signal related threats. If interaction with the domain has already occurred, affected users should revoke wallet permissions and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet to mitigate potential losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-5082E0 TLS cert SHA-256: 5cd842681509fd5b46ccd1b632ff912ee17aae84abee3ac72aa0b60090aaedb0 ## 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-uk.co.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polymarket-uk.co.uk 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.
