# PhishDestroy threat dossier — claimpengu.vip ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 23:31:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/claimpengu.vip/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.62.79 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: elle.ns.cloudflare.com, gerald.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-26 Expires: 2027-05-26 Page title: Claim Your $PENGU | Pudgy Penguins ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 46dc956fd06dcadb7344d01c4c53cfd6a6ca12164b0aedc2988a1dc75165fd00 ## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 05:59:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 04:02:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:16:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ede07-5d5d-760a-a2a7-c7cf4367c5da/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f72407d0-4335-4d99-84c4-2e5b7ac420e2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/claimpengu.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.claimpengu.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=claimpengu.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/claimpengu.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/claimpengu.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:39:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk crypto_drainer, a specialized phishing threat designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets from victims by exploiting wallet connections. The fraudulent site mimics legitimate token distribution campaigns, specifically targeting users of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem with a fake $PENGU token claim page. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is engineered to execute unauthorized transactions once wallet permissions are granted, a hallmark of crypto_draining schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain claimpengu.vip was registered on May 26, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to IP address 104.21.62.79, a Cloudflare proxy endpoint that obscures the true hosting origin. Security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain at 2/95, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on three independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by wallet protection systems, including MetaMask and SEAL. The page title, 'Claim Your $PENGU | Pudgy Penguins,' directly impersonates the legitimate brand to deceive users. Mitigation requires immediate action to prevent asset loss. Users who interacted with claimpengu.vip should revoke all connected wallet permissions via their wallet interface, particularly for any dApp authorizations linked to the domain. All cryptocurrency assets should be transferred to a new, secure wallet address, as private keys or seed phrases may have been compromised. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or endpoint security policies, should block access to the domain and its associated IP. Organizations should update threat intelligence feeds with the domain, IP, and seed d21e92 to prevent further exposure. Given the offline status, monitoring for re-emergence under similar domains or IP infrastructure is critical. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-C2C4E0 Favicon MD5: 9fb27cbe4a04a738ff8c3c37781a7741 TLS cert SHA-256: 46dc956fd06dcadb7344d01c4c53cfd6a6ca12164b0aedc2988a1dc75165fd00 ## 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/claimpengu.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claimpengu.vip 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.
