# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polymarket.charity ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 00:49:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polymarket.charity/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 72.251.11.125 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: ASAS16276 OVH OVH SAS, FR Hosting org: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-06-29 Expires: 2027-06-29 Page title: polymarket.charity is registered at Namecheap ## 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: 2026-06-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:52:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:02:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-30 19:54:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f19a7-a2a7-73b8-a935-7b927c140266/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f88bf373-67a9-469f-9e8f-7b8f99b46843 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polymarket.charity crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polymarket.charity Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polymarket.charity AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polymarket.charity URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polymarket.charity/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 19:56:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a cryptocurrency wallet phishing site under active investigation. Analysis indicates it poses a high-risk threat to users of decentralized finance platforms, specifically targeting wallet credentials and private keys through fraudulent interfaces mimicking legitimate services. The domain exhibits characteristics of a credential harvesting operation, likely designed to exfiltrate sensitive financial data from unsuspecting victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: registered through NAMECHEAP INC on June 29, 2026, resolving to IP address 162.255.119.196. VirusTotal detection ratio stands at 0/95, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The domain was taken offline, but its recent creation date and lack of prior reputation indicate it was likely deployed for a short-term phishing campaign. No blocklist entries or trust scores were recorded at the time of assessment, further emphasizing its stealthy nature. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP address across all network security controls. Organizations should implement strict filtering rules for newly registered domains, particularly those using terms related to cryptocurrency or financial services. End users should be educated to verify domain authenticity through official sources and avoid entering wallet credentials on unfamiliar sites. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to 162.255.119.196 and investigate any related network activity, as this may indicate compromise. Given the domain's recent creation and lack of detection, proactive hunting for similar infrastructure patterns is recommended. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-A2FC94 ## 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.charity/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polymarket.charity 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.
