Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] polymarket.chozne.com — Generic Phishing Investigation polymarket.chozne.com is an active domain used in a generic phishing campaign, first observed after its registration on 22 January 2025 through Hostinger Operations UAB. The authoritative name servers are ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com, both typical of parking services, which indicates the domain is not tied to a dedicated hosting environment. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 82.180.163.128, an IP that is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy sinkhole. VirusTotal analysis shows that one out of ninety‑five scanning engines returned a positive detection, confirming malicious intent despite the low overall detection count. The domain appears on one public blocklist, reinforcing the likelihood that it is being used for malicious purposes. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing verdicts, Open Threat Exchange entries, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title metadata is presently available, leaving the surface‑web characteristics of the site unverified. The limited detection footprint suggests the phishing infrastructure is either newly deployed or intentionally obscured, but the presence of a known blocklist entry and a positive VirusTotal detection warrants immediate defensive action. Organizations should add 82.180.163.128 and polymarket.chozne.com to their deny lists, enforce URL filtering to block access, and monitor network traffic for any connections to the IP. Email gateways should be tuned to flag messages containing the domain or its sub‑domains. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further detections or additional blocklist listings may emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260721-E553F8 Favicon MD5: 575c3b255b83adb4a391b846881ae12b TLS cert SHA-256: 98a9f3a95328f7c3755564e9db95bf969ed88aa0407d925f90e18d69c1620652 ## 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.chozne.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polymarket.chozne.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
