## 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: 2026-06-22 22:59:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pudgypenguins-allocation.live is part of a phishing operation targeting cryptocurrency users. It is flagged as malicious by one out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal and appears on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Despite its offline status, the domain's previous activity poses significant risks to potential victims.

Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was created on June 20, 2026, and detected by PhishDestroy just two days later. It was hosted on an IP address associated with Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. The domain's platform risk score stands at 73 out of 100, indicating a high level of threat.

Phishing domains like pudgypenguins-allocation.live often exploit the lag between domain registration and antivirus database updates, which typically takes 24-72 hours. PhishDestroy's detection pipeline operates upstream of antivirus vendors, identifying threats during this critical pre-detection window. The early detection and subsequent inclusion in blocklists highlight the domain's potential danger to cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-771955
Favicon MD5:       f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8

## 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.
