No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 11:56:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:07:14 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5cda-5873-7516-803a-edcd571379de/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 11:57:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev as a live brand impersonation domain targeting Bitcoin users. The domain leverages Cloudflare Pages infrastructure to host a fraudulent site designed to deceive visitors into believing it is an official Bitcoin-related service. At present, no drainer kit signatures have been extracted from this domain, though the impersonation theme strongly suggests the eventual deployment of crypto-draining scripts targeting unsuspecting victims attempting to claim Bitcoin rewards. This domain represents a high-risk vector given its thematic alignment with cryptocurrency fraud and the potential for financial loss. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection ratio of 0/95, indicating no current AV signatures, and it resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may lend it an air of legitimacy to casual observers. While the exact creation date is not provided in available telemetry, the page is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a common platform abused by threat actors for rapid deployment of malicious content. As of this advisory, the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists, including Google Safe Browsing, which amplifies its exposure to unsuspecting users. As of this analysis, the domain is classified as 'active' with a status of 'under_investigation.' Immediate defensive action includes blocking the domain and associated IP at the network perimeter and DNS level. Users are advised to avoid accessing bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev and report any encounters to their security team or relevant threat intelligence platforms. The current risk level remains under evaluation due to the absence of historical detections and the domain's recent activity. Continued monitoring of SSL certificate issuance, IP associations, and DNS resolutions is critical to preempt further abuse. Organizations should remain vigilant for downstream attacks leveraging this domain, particularly in phishing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-04-05 - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f0234d772bd924463b40d3096b0f32ad TLS cert SHA-256: 75a75e1cdaa8d6c6f0049c94124ddcd217822fdcdefe80c504e3cc5b46f6c922 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitcoinpenguin-claim.pages.dev Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
