What happened
Recorded Future's Insikt Group tracked Russian-language traffer teams that sell pre-built fake prediction-market platforms impersonating Polymarket and Kalshi to affiliates. The operator AtlasCore claims about $10.97 million in victim cryptocurrency deposits, but the figure is self-reported and unverified. The article reports activity since spring 2026 but is truncated, and it names no CVEs or technical indicators. Defenders should treat unsolicited prediction-market or crypto deposit sites as hostile and monitor for lookalike domains.

What to do
- Only use prediction-market platforms by typing their official addresses or using trusted bookmarks, not links from ads or messages.
- Do not send cryptocurrency deposits to any site you reached through an unsolicited link or promotion.
