# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 23:17:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop Phishing kit: Token Presale ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: gene.ns.cloudflare.com, michael.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-08 Page title: PEAP Token Crypto Presale | PEPE Ascension Token HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6a200b87ffdb690645ca585d97fb05ad0011fcbabe0471b025909c6142f4e792 ## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 14:40:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 14:40:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 13:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e82fa-8895-72d4-85f9-9592215098c1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:57:39 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 classified as an elevated-risk crypto drainer, a threat type designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets from victims through deceptive smart contracts or wallet-draining scripts. Analysis indicates the domain specifically impersonates a legitimate token presale for "PEAP Token" or "PEPE Ascension Token," exploiting user interest in new cryptocurrency projects to execute unauthorized transactions. The infrastructure and social engineering tactics observed align with known crypto drainer campaigns, where victims are tricked into connecting wallets to malicious sites, resulting in irreversible asset theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, a Cloudflare-hosted endpoint, and was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on May 8, 2026. The domain employs HSTS and HTTP/3 protocols, alongside a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. The page title, "PEAP Token Crypto Presale | PEPE Ascension Token," is a direct lure for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The domain has since been taken offline, but historical activity and the unique seed identifier 1fab29 confirm its malicious intent. The presence of these indicators, particularly the high detection rate on VirusTotal, underscores the domain's role in a coordinated crypto-draining operation. Mitigation for this threat type requires immediate action from both end users and security teams. Users who interacted with the domain should revoke any wallet permissions granted to the site using blockchain explorers or wallet management tools. All connected wallets should be audited for unauthorized transactions, and compromised assets should be transferred to new, secure wallets. Organizations should block the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.96.3) at the network level, and monitor for related indicators of compromise, such as the unique seed 1fab29. Security teams are advised to alert users about the risks of connecting wallets to unverified presale or airdrop sites, particularly those hosted on newly registered domains or leveraging Cloudflare infrastructure. Proactive monitoring for similar domains using the same registrar or IP range is recommended to prevent further incidents. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 85f3b6c0b1ebb001090113483dbae981 TLS cert SHA-256: 6a200b87ffdb690645ca585d97fb05ad0011fcbabe0471b025909c6142f4e792 ## 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/pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pepeascensionclaim.pages.dev 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.
