Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain penguworld[.]us is an active phishing site, posing a significant threat to users by attempting to steal sensitive information. It was first detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-20. The domain remains active, putting users at risk. Risk Indicators - First detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-20 - Active status indicates ongoing phishing attempts - Newly created domain may indicate malicious intent Technical Details - Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED - Hosting IP: 188.114.97.3 - Domain Created: 2026-05-12 Recommendations - Avoid interacting with penguworld[.]us - Be cautious of phishing sites with recently created domains - Report suspicious activity to PhishDestroy ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 TLS cert SHA-256: bdee5d6cb0db37c0f6169b210c08124bc34299f213f890d9cebf8dbee7d26055 ## 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/penguworld.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=penguworld.us 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.
