These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

The domain kalshistrade.com was registered on July 11, 2026 — literally today — and already appears in PhishTank and PhishDestroy submissions. It is explicitly identified as a clone and typosquat of the legitimate kalshi.com exchange. The hosting IP and registrar (NiceNIC) match patterns used by other flagged phishing domains in the same campaign cluster. No business registration exists for this entity. The combination of brand impersonation, zero domain age, and immediate blocklist placement leaves no plausible legitimate explanation.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site attempts to impersonate Kalshi, a federally regulated US prediction market. No legitimate affiliation exists. The domain name combines the real brand with the word 'trade' to create a convincing-looking clone.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 172.67.177.63 with zero abuse reports recorded. SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services is valid but only 89 days from expiry. The registrar NiceNIC is frequently used for short-lived phishing domains. The domain shows no redirects and loads directly.

Domain History

Domain age is listed as 0 days. Registered July 11, 2026 via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED with privacy protection disabled. No prior history or legitimate business footprint exists.

Web Reputation

PhishTank added the URL the same day it was registered. PhishDestroy linked it to other malicious domains on the same NiceNIC infrastructure, including kalshitradet.com and asteraxtrade.live. No positive reviews or trust signals appear anywhere. Independent review aggregators have no entries.

What this means for you

Do not visit this site or enter any credentials. It is a live phishing operation impersonating a regulated financial platform and was caught within hours of launch.

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • kalshistrade.com is a high-risk phishing — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing and clone site. 1 of 92 security engines flag it. The domain is only 0 days old through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
  • No — kalshistrade.com scored just 12/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on kalshistrade.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on kalshistrade.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • If you entered anything on kalshistrade.com, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
  • You can report kalshistrade.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • Yes. 1 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged kalshistrade.com as suspicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
  • No — kalshistrade.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • kalshistrade.com is 0 days old, registered on July 11, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
  • kalshistrade.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 11, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about kalshistrade.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
