## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-01 18:02:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies penigonft.xyz as an active crypto drainer targeting unsuspecting NFT investors. The domain impersonates a legitimate platform to trick users into connecting crypto wallets, where drainer scripts silently siphon funds. This is a high-risk threat due to its active status, lack of detections, and recent domain registration.  

This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 28, 2026. VirusTotal currently reports 2/95 detections, indicating a low-profile threat not yet flagged by major security vendors. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, adding a false sense of legitimacy. No blocklist entries were found at the time of analysis, though this may change as intelligence evolves.  

The domain remains active and under investigation, with no immediate takedown action taken. Users are advised to avoid interacting with penigonft.xyz and verify domains on PhishDestroy before engaging. The remaining risk is high due to the drainer's evasion of detection and active deployment. Always cross-check URLs, inspect SSL certificates, and use blockchain scanners for wallet connections.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260501-D1D5E8
TLS cert SHA-256:      ed709366a697175f77f646dd45af7f78f58735f58daa38f7e78da3066c43dd22

## 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.
