pihenoston[.]com

Analysis of the domain pihenoston.com indicates it was actively involved in a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency users through an airdrop scam, as classified by available threat intelligence. The domain was registered on February 9, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. and is currently offline, returning a 404 Not Found HTTP status. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States, with nameservers BURT.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM and NIA.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, a common configuration for both legitimate and malicious sites leveraging Cloudflare services.

Detection data shows the domain was flagged by 16 of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal for social engineering, aligning with Google Safe Browsing's classification. It appears on three security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, suggesting targeted mitigation efforts against this campaign. The presence of a known phishing kit, identified as an airdrop scam, further confirms its malicious intent, though the exact mechanics of the scam—such as whether it involved credential harvesting, wallet draining, or fake token distribution—remain unconfirmed due to the domain's offline status. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk based on its detection history, blocklist presence, and association with a confirmed phishing kit.

While the domain is currently inaccessible, historical resolution data (188.114.97.3) and related infrastructure (Cloudflare, jsDelivr, jQuery) may be useful for retroactive hunting or correlation with other campaigns. Given the domain's age and registration through a commercial registrar, monitoring for re-registration or similar domains under the same registrar may be warranted.
