## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-21 19:02:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies polymarkets.dev as a generic phishing domain currently under investigation. This site mimics a legitimate prediction-market platform to steal login credentials and financial data from unsuspecting users. Attackers register look-alike domains to harvest account passwords and payment details under the guise of “Polymarket”-branded services.

This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after VirusTotal scanning returned 0 detections out of 95 engines on April 6 2026, the same day NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED created the domain. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy and resolves to 172.67.172.59, a hosting range previously associated with low-reputation campaigns.

If you visited polymarkets.dev, stop entering any information immediately. Clear browser cookies related to the site, run a full antivirus scan, and change passwords for critical accounts. Report the domain to your security team or PhishDestroy so it can be blocked for others. Do not click links in emails or social posts promoting this domain, as they are likely part of the same phishing lure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260421-AAC6A0
TLS cert SHA-256:      3f607987a7baa4c8ca5b5e98470ed21b5ccb738da57c28b05165196758c385bc

## 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.
