Analysis of the domain porcupineq[.]digital, observed on 27 July 2026, indicates that it is currently active and being used for a generic phishing campaign. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate brand protection services, which suggests the attackers deliberately selected a reputable registrar to increase perceived legitimacy. Infrastructure observations show the domain resolves to the nameservers ns911a.Microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, both of which are operated by Microsoft’s DNS infrastructure. Use of Microsoft‑owned nameservers is a known tactic to blend malicious sites with trusted network footprints.
The site returns an HTTP 302 redirect, a behavior frequently employed to forward victims to credential‑harvesting pages or to obscure the final landing location. VirusTotal scans have recorded 17 of 91 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. The domain is listed on one public blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, indicating that at least one downstream security product has identified it as a threat. No public information is available regarding the underlying hosting IP address, SSL certificate details, or the exact page title presented to users, limiting deeper content analysis.
Consequently, the precise brand or service being impersonated cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should continue to block porcupineq[.]digital at network perimeter devices, DNS resolvers, and endpoint security solutions. Monitoring of DNS queries for this FQDN and correlating any 302 redirect patterns with user activity can help detect attempted credential submissions.

Domain Appeal
Contest this listing if false positive
Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with porcupineq.digital — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
porcupineq.digital) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
