Analysis of www.polymarket.trade shows a short‑lived domain registered on July 13, 2025 through NameCheap, Inc. The site resolved to the Amazon‑owned address 216.150.16.193, ASN 16509, located in the United States. DNS resolution used Vercel’s authoritative servers (ns1.vercel-dns.com, ns2.vercel-dns.com), indicating deployment on the Vercel platform. The site presented an HTTP 200 response and served a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12), with HSTS enabled, suggesting a legitimate‑looking transport layer. The page title returned "n8n Templates, Cursor Rules, MCP Servers," which does not match any known brand or service and provides no further context about the content hosted.
VirusTotal scanned the domain and recorded detections from four of ninety‑five security vendors, confirming that at least a subset of scanners flagged the site as malicious. The domain appears on one external blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. Current operational status is offline, and the domain has been taken down.
Given the elevated risk rating, defenders should immediately add www.polymarket.trade to URL filtering and DNS block policies, monitor the associated IP 216.150.16.193 for any reuse, and consider extending blocklist coverage to include the Vercel DNS infrastructure used. Continuous watch on Let’s Encrypt‑issued certificates for this host is advised, as well as periodic re‑scanning on VirusTotal to capture any new vendor detections. The limited evidence—primarily registration data, hosting details, and modest vendor detections—precludes a full attribution of the phishing campaign, but the observed indicators warrant proactive defensive measures.
