No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-14 21:52:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-14 18:52:54 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-24 19:33:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 01:45:37 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e27d2-e13e-71ee-91f5-35d2acd71162/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bb5f5a18-b11f-4055-b557-89c8fbbf4f65 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ponkverse.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ponkverse.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ponkverse.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ponkverse.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ponkverse.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-14 21:52:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ponkverse.fun as an active domain engaged in cryptocurrency giveaway phishing, currently under investigation as a credible threat. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the site’s content and tactics align with common ‘pump-and-dump’ schemes targeting retail investors. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating no immediate detection despite suspicious activity. Registered through Dynadot LLC, it resolves to IP 104.21.6.129 and operates under a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate issued on May 12, 2026. The domain’s recent creation date and pristine reputation metrics—coupled with its lack of blocklist presence—suggest an emergent or highly evasive threat. The absence of detections, while concerning, often correlates with novel or rapidly evolving phishing infrastructures exploiting low initial visibility. Given the domain’s active status and the nature of its alleged campaign, users are advised to avoid interacting with ponkverse.fun entirely. Security teams should implement DNS-based blocking against the IP and domain entry, and monitor lateral connections for signs of compromise. Further investigation into the SSL certificate’s issuance and the hosting infrastructure may reveal additional indicators of compromise. Immediate action is recommended to mitigate exposure to cryptocurrency-focused social engineering attacks. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260514-BD788C Favicon MD5: 6a5a337eefe2a0f591665978d6c44fd8 TLS cert SHA-256: 907aeabd2ef43a0b3caeaf8d939d6290bfb52989ad6524d76d444634a2758f8c ## 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/ponkverse.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ponkverse.fun 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.
