# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polymarket-wc26.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 16:21:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polymarket-wc26.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Gridinsoft, Seclookup URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.5.160 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICNAMES, INC. Nameservers: ["lloyd.ns.cloudflare.com", "raphaela.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Polymarket World Cup 2026 — Live FIFA 2026 Odds HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1896293d952ddc55684f5a423e82339ecd2c0516485e1ab1915db67eddb7ceed ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 16:53:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 13:56:10 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 18:00:27 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 09:27:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd45c-0899-710c-af83-08a17730f50f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c4658190-f19b-4b6c-846e-eacf2d93cfeb Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polymarket-wc26.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polymarket-wc26.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polymarket-wc26.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polymarket-wc26.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polymarket-wc26.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 16:57:09 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-wc26.com as a live crypto-draining phishing site that attempts to trick visitors into connecting a cryptocurrency wallet under the guise of a fake Polymarket airdrop or reward page. If a wallet is linked, the page silently drains tokens via malicious smart-contract calls or signature requests, resulting in irreversible loss of funds. This domain impersonates the legitimate polymarket.io platform and should never be used for any transaction or wallet connection. This domain was flagged by exactly 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors within hours of its April 07, 2026 creation date, indicating early-stage but confirmed malicious activity. It resolves to 104.21.5.160 and was registered through NicNames, Inc., which has been observed in multiple drainer campaigns. The presence of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is irrelevant here—it only proves the domain can serve HTTPS traffic, not that the site is legitimate or safe. If you visited polymarket-wc26.com and did not connect a wallet, simply close the tab and run a malware/virus scan on your device. If you connected a wallet, immediately revoke any suspicious token approvals and permissions through your wallet’s built-in revoke tool or via reputable services like revoke.cash. Disconnect the wallet from any unknown dApps and consider transferring remaining funds to a clean wallet. Report the domain to your wallet provider and file an incident report with local cybercrime units if substantial loss occurred.

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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polymarket-wc26.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polymarket-wc26.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
