Insikt Group says three Russian-language teams sell turnkey fake prediction-market sites; deposit totals are the operators’ unverified claims.

Recorded Future’s Insikt Group says Russian-language traffer teams have, since spring 2026, adapted affiliate fraud to imitation prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi. AtlasCore, PolyFucked, and Magnetic Team supply websites, admin panels, crypto payments, victim management, and promotional support. Operators can force wins or losses, set win rates, simulate trading with bots, block withdrawals, and collect cards, identity documents, and selfies under fake KYC. AI is used for support, promo content, and possibly development. Insikt Group linked more than 100 domains and subdomains to the three teams or affiliates. Deposit and turnover figures are the teams’ own claims.
