pengyield.fun Generic Phishing Alert

The domain pengyield.fun is presently active and has been categorized as a generic phishing site. Technical checks show that HTTP requests to the domain receive a 307 temporary redirect response, indicating that the server is intentionally forwarding visitors to another location, a pattern often used to evade detection. The domain is hosted on Vercel infrastructure, as evidenced by its authoritative nameservers ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com. Registration data reveals that the domain was purchased through Name.com, Inc., but no further registrant details are publicly disclosed.

The domain has been added to at least one security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, demonstrating that some defensive platforms have already taken mitigation steps. VirusTotal analysis shows that six of ninety‑one scanning engines flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of malicious intent. However, the specific phishing payload, target brand, or lure content has not been publicly disclosed, and no page title or content snapshots are available for analysis.

Consequently, defenders should treat pengyield.fun as a high‑risk indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain to enterprise blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for outbound requests to the Vercel nameservers, and configuring web proxies to enforce the 307 redirect detection rule. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal and similar services is advised to capture any changes in detection rates, and security teams should remain alert for related domains that may share the same registrar or hosting configuration.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       43127a86c2d422930581f20c77d92bae
TLS cert SHA-256:      e75478b768dc86770900a5d01f69941b546d99d7953141d29930b7e204afa32a

## 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.
