polymarket-privatemarkets[.]com

polymarket-privatemarkets.com was registered on 21 February 2026 through NameSilo, LLC. The authoritative nameservers are dns1.p03.nsone.net through dns4.p03.nsone.net, indicating use of NSONE infrastructure. DNS resolution points to 63.176.8.218, an address owned by Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) located in Germany. No TLS certificate is presented; the site serves without HTTPS, confirming the absence of SSL. The landing page returns the title “Welcome to Polymarket’s private markets”, which aligns with the reported scam type of a fake airdrop targeting users of the Polymarket platform.

The domain is currently taken offline, and its HTTP status is not reachable for further content analysis. Security telemetry shows that five of ninety‑five antivirus or URL‑reputation engines on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and it is listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious classification. The elevated risk rating reflects the combination of recent creation, lack of encryption, and association with a known fraudulent airdrop campaign.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters and ensure that the associated IP address 63.176.8.218 is included in network deny lists, recognizing that the host may serve additional malicious payloads. Monitoring of NSONE name server activity for newly registered domains pointing to the same Amazon IP range is recommended, as is the review of any outbound traffic attempting to contact the domain before it was taken offline. Because the underlying infrastructure resides on a cloud provider, rapid reprovisioning is possible; security teams should treat any future domains that resolve to the same IP block with the same level of scrutiny. Further investigation is limited by the offline status, and no additional page content or SSL details are available.
