rainbot.market posed as "RainBot," a weather-based automated trading bot for the Polymarket prediction platform, targeting crypto traders comfortable with Web3 wallet connections. PhishDestroy first identified it on 2026-10-09 and classified it as a crypto wallet drainer. The site went offline on 2026-10-16 and its DNS is now inactive. The page title references an AI trading bot, while our classification is a wallet drainer; both descriptions may reflect the same deceptive interface.
How the scam works
Wallet drainer sites impersonate legitimate DeFi tools or trading platforms to persuade visitors to connect their cryptocurrency wallets. Once connected, the site prompts the user to sign a transaction or grant a token approval that hands the attacker control over the wallet's assets. A single such signature can authorize the drainer contract to sweep tokens and NFTs in one on-chain move, leaving the victim with no recourse. The Polymarket branding gave the site credibility with an audience already accustomed to signing Web3 transactions.
Evidence
VirusTotal returned 18 detections from 92 engines on 2026-10-09, with flags from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, CRDF, DNS8, ESET, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker. The domain is tracked across five AlienVault OTX threat-intelligence pulses. It is blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, so users running those blocklists would have received a wallet-level warning before any connection could be made.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-07-04 through Spaceship, Inc. and served from Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States under AS16509. TLS was issued by Let's Encrypt. A domain live for roughly three months before going dark, paired with commodity cloud hosting and a free certificate, fits the short operational lifecycle typical of throwaway drainer campaigns.
What to do
If you visited the site without connecting a wallet or signing anything, no funds are at risk. If you connected a wallet, use Revoke.cash or your wallet's built-in approval manager right away to revoke any token approvals granted during that session. If a transaction was signed and assets moved, notify your wallet provider and report to SEAL's emergency response channel immediately. Defenders should block rainbot.market at the DNS and network layer and ingest the five AlienVault OTX pulses into threat-feed pipelines.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
