## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:23:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-12 20:25:10 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:55:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies claim-pudgeypenguins.com as a domain involved in crypto drainer activities, posing risks to users' digital assets. Although currently offline and flagged by a small number of security vendors, this domain has appeared on multiple blocklists, signaling potential harm. Users should be aware that interacting with such sites can lead to unauthorized access and theft of cryptocurrency wallets.

This malicious site operates by tricking users into connecting their crypto wallets or providing private keys under the guise of legitimate services. The page title "Just a moment..." may be used to mask ongoing malicious scripts designed to drain funds stealthily. The domain was registered recently and resolved to an IP address associated with suspicious activities, further indicating its intent to deceive crypto users through social engineering and wallet compromise tactics.

If you have visited claim-pudgeypenguins.com, it is crucial to immediately check your crypto wallet for unauthorized transactions and consider moving assets to a new wallet with fresh security credentials. Avoid reusing private keys or seed phrases that might have been exposed. Users should also update passwords and enable two-factor authentication on related accounts to minimize further risk. Staying informed and cautious helps protect digital assets from emerging crypto threats like this one.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      668f77475d70e911cfc22086c961f00e0c46972ff090abcce9e36b611b208d90

## 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.
