polytip.cc is an impersonation phishing site that presents itself as "Forecast Exchange," a betting-style platform where users stake money on the outcome of future events. It targets crypto users drawn to prediction markets, people who are used to funding an account or connecting a wallet before placing a position. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-06. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still answers, but its DNS no longer serves the phishing content. The site could be repointed at any time.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages like this copy the look and language of a legitimate trading or forecasting service so visitors trust it with funds or access. Typical outcomes include a login form that harvests credentials, a prompt to connect a wallet and sign transactions, or a deposit screen that accepts crypto which is never returned. Fake exchanges commonly display invented balances or winnings, then demand extra "fees" or "verification deposits" before any withdrawal. Whatever the route, victims lose the funds they send and any account or wallet access they hand over.
Evidence
On 2026-09-19, five of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, but these are independent vendors that reached the same verdict. Three AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference the domain, which ties it to indicators other researchers are tracking. PhishDestroy's own blocklist carries it as impersonation phishing.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2026-08-31, only six days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap is typical of throwaway phishing domains that are put to use right after purchase. The site sits behind Cloudflare, Inc. on an address geolocated to Canada, so the network hides the true origin server from visitors. The .cc extension and a name that sounds like a forecasting brand both fit an operation built to look plausible to prediction-market users.
What to do
If you deposited crypto on this site, stop sending funds. Do not pay any "withdrawal fee" or "unlock" charge it demands, because those payments are part of the theft. If you entered a password, change it everywhere you reused it and turn on app-based 2FA. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, revoke the token approvals granted during that session and move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Defenders should block polytip.cc at DNS and proxy level and keep watching it, since the domain remains registered and can return.

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.
