## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:38:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain polymarkets.icu has been identified as a crypto drainer, specifically designed to steal cryptocurrency, and is currently offline. This domain was flagged as a potential threat due to its impersonation of the legitimate Polymarket brand. 
   
The domain polymarkets.icu was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, it was created on June 12, 2026, and has been flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a significant threat level, additionally it appears on 3 security blocklists, and has a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may misleadingly suggest legitimacy.

Given the current status of polymarkets.icu as offline, it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain if it becomes active again, as it poses a significant risk to their cryptocurrency and personal data, PhishDestroy recommends exercising extreme caution when encountering similar domains and taking immediate action to protect oneself, such as reporting the domain to relevant authorities and avoiding any interactions with it.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      190819837fa138896eb0a002f50128dc41785393e54fdb135cc5cd0610fa05b3

## 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.
