Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain claim-pepenode.com has been identified as an active crypto drainer threat. Current analysis indicates the domain is operational and poses an elevated risk to users, specifically targeting cryptocurrency assets. There is no indication of a specific brand impersonation associated with this campaign. Technical review reveals the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain was created on May 22, 2026, indicating it is newly established. VirusTotal data shows that 4 out of 95 security vendors currently flag this domain as malicious. The site is blocked by multiple browser-based security solutions and appears on 2 recognized security blocklists. Additionally, the domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while legitimate, does not validate the underlying trustworthiness of the site. Given the active status and confirmed crypto drainer functionality, users are advised to avoid any interaction with claim-pepenode.com. Organizations should update network blocklists to include this domain and associated IP address, and monitor for any attempts to access the site within their environments. Ongoing vigilance and immediate isolation of related indicators are strongly recommended to mitigate potential asset compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6aa575f0979fe244714ef9eb00649052 ## 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/claim-pepenode.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claim-pepenode.com 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.
