# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pepeunchaind.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 01:48:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pepeunchaind.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Netcraft, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.180.48 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: bayan.ns.cloudflare.com, paris.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-25 Expires: 2027-06-25 Page title: Pepe Unchained | Pepe's Own Layer 2 Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3fd29f4f64de13c6a365fe167c26561003f8e70aab40c1095ebb6102a401407f ## 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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 02:23:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 00:30:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 06:17:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f10c0-041a-7589-9434-65d68bc6bd66/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/32518b96-d46c-480c-8728-38a482f069fd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pepeunchaind.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pepeunchaind.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pepeunchaind.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pepeunchaind.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pepeunchaind.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 02:24:45 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 flagged for crypto brand impersonation, specifically targeting users of the Pepe Unchained Layer 2 blockchain project. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate Pepe Unchained branding, potentially luring victims into connecting wallets or entering private keys under the guise of a new blockchain launch. The threat likely involves crypto drainer functionality, where malicious smart contracts or scripts siphon funds from connected wallets once permissions are granted. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain pepeunchaind.xyz was registered on June 25, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC. It currently resolves to IP address 104.21.43.137 and presents an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Despite its active status and convincing facade, the domain has zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95) and remains unlisted on major blocklists. The page title, 'Pepe Unchained | Pepe's Own Layer 2 Blockchain,' directly mirrors legitimate Pepe Unchained branding, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Users who have visited pepeunchaind.xyz or interacted with its content should immediately revoke any wallet permissions granted to the site via blockchain explorers or wallet interfaces. Monitor connected wallets for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring assets to a new wallet if suspicious activity is detected. Do not re-engage with the domain or any associated links. Report the domain to relevant crypto security platforms and blocklists to prevent further exploitation. If private keys or seed phrases were entered, assume full wallet compromise and act accordingly. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-3AFC02 Favicon MD5: b67fb75430b6fe4a2c1f2941984ed6bf TLS cert SHA-256: 3fd29f4f64de13c6a365fe167c26561003f8e70aab40c1095ebb6102a401407f ## 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/pepeunchaind.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pepeunchaind.xyz 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.
