Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] predicate.cc Fake Prediction Market Site The domain predicate.cc was registered on May 21, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are anahi.ns.cloudflare.com and lennon.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s edge network. TLS termination is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (identifier YE2), and the site responds with an HTTP 302 redirect, suggesting that visitors are immediately forwarded to another location. Front‑end analysis shows the presence of Vue.js, Inertia.js, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3, confirming that the site is built on modern JavaScript frameworks and leverages Cloudflare’s performance features. The page title returned by the server is “Predicate — Prediction Markets,” which hints at a potential impersonation of a prediction‑market service, although no direct evidence of the targeted brand has been disclosed. VirusTotal scans have recorded six detections out of ninety‑one security vendors, indicating that a minority of scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one external blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a blocked entry, reinforcing the assessment that the site is being used for phishing‑related activity. The overall risk rating is high, and the status remains active as of the report date, July 21, 2026. Defenders should prioritize adding predicate.cc to URL filtering and DNS blocklists, especially within environments that enforce web‑gateway policies. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare‑origin IP reputation is advised, as the same address may be shared with other malicious actors. Because the site employs a valid TLS certificate and modern web technologies, conventional SSL inspection may be required to uncover any embedded malicious payloads. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3aed7c24c09a3806b4db5022976fcf07 TLS cert SHA-256: f66f32761004fc1347afe4568e036c7caf590e994b515b785f072df645d43768 ## 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/predicate.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=predicate.cc 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.
