## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:20:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pudgyfarms.xyz as a medium-risk phishing domain that impersonates the Pudgy Farms RWAnimals tokenization protocol. Although currently offline, it has been flagged by multiple security vendors and appears on a security blocklist, indicating a potential threat to users seeking legitimate token or NFT services. Such phishing sites can deceive visitors into revealing sensitive information or credentials.

This phishing scheme likely enticed users by presenting itself as a legitimate platform related to tokenized RWAnimals, exploiting interest in digital assets. Visitors might have been prompted to enter private keys, wallet credentials, or personal data under the guise of managing or interacting with tokens. By masquerading as a trusted service, it aimed to steal valuable information for fraudulent use.

If you have visited pudgyfarms.xyz, it is advisable to immediately change any credentials you might have entered and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Avoid reusing passwords associated with this domain and consider running a malware scan on your device. Staying vigilant and verifying domains before interacting with tokenization platforms can prevent falling victim to such scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       05dc408be5983c40119789f02b4a7b9d

## 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.
