Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pudgy.social is suspected of engaging in crypto drainer phishing activities and is currently offline. This domain impersonates the Pudgy Penguins brand, a popular NFT project, to lure unsuspecting users into revealing their private keys or other sensitive information. Analysis indicates that pudgy.social was created on April 27, 2026, and is registered through Sav.com, LLC. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.32.69. It has been flagged by 12 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a significant level of suspicion among security professionals. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature. The page title, 'Claim Your $PENGU | Pudgy Penguins,' suggests that the phishing campaign is designed to exploit the popularity of the Pudgy Penguins NFT project, potentially leading users to believe they are participating in a legitimate promotion or transaction. Currently, the domain pudgy.social is offline, which may indicate that the operators have temporarily ceased their phishing activities or that the domain has been taken down by authorities or security services. However, the domain remains a high-risk entity and should be monitored for any signs of reactivation. Organizations and individuals are advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with this domain. Security teams should block access to this domain and educate users about the dangers of crypto drainer phishing, particularly those who are involved with or interested in the Pudgy Penguins NFT project. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-9B6942 Favicon MD5: cc84bbd877a9ba227ec8623a5626058d ## 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/pudgy.social/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pudgy.social 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.
