## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:51:30 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.special.markets as a high-risk generic phishing domain. This domain aimed to deceive users potentially by masquerading as a legitimate service, putting visitors' sensitive information at risk. Due to its malicious intent, the risk level associated with this domain is classified as high.

Supporting evidence for this classification includes the domain's resolution to an IPv6 address (2606:4700:3037::6815:59f0), and its registration through Cloudflare, Inc., which is often used by both legitimate and malicious actors to mask origin servers. The domain has appeared on two separate security blocklists, highlighting its recognized threat status across security communities. VirusTotal scan results further confirm its malicious nature, with 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as suspicious or malicious. The domain currently returns an offline error page (ERR_NGROK_3200), indicating it is no longer active.

Users are advised to avoid accessing polymarket.special.markets and to maintain vigilance by verifying URLs before interacting. Although this domain is currently offline, its historical presence on blocklists and its phishing classification underscore the importance of using security software and updated threat intelligence to prevent exposure to similar threats. PhishDestroy recommends ongoing monitoring and caution around domains exhibiting similar characteristics to protect personal and organizational data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       d6bb499ca8e3e14ee5f58b50a30f1792da3050803c7dc0106db40c8e6a1aff7b
TLS cert SHA-256:      ae45d7cfce938480049e6837c789bc1ca38d6263382291f1301926540558dcfd

## 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 (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.
