Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active token allocation phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive victims into believing they are interacting with a legitimate PENG token allocation event, as evidenced by the page title 'PENG Allocation Live — Claim Your Tokens Now.' The risk level is classified as elevated due to the domain's recent creation, low detection rate, and direct targeting of financial assets through social engineering tactics. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain penglabs.info was registered on July 5, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal reports that 1 out of 95 security vendors has flagged this domain as malicious, indicating limited but present detection. No additional blocklist entries or trust score anomalies were identified in the available data, though the discrepancy between the domain's creation date (2026) and current year suggests potential inaccuracies in registration records or intentional misdirection. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP address (188.114.97.3) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent access to penglabs.info and similar token allocation scams. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of interacting with unsolicited token claim pages, particularly those with recent registration dates or low detection rates. Cryptocurrency holders are advised to verify token allocation events exclusively through official project channels and to scrutinize domain registration details before engaging with any claims. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 35e7bcfee07b3277afb6fb65b5198f39 TLS cert SHA-256: e069cbfec22cfbe474202d7c6e70d6f088e8b776b11c92b5bd5c6f75b5ab95d9 ## 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 (operator 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/penglabs.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=penglabs.info 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
