Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
Analysis of the domain pudgys.claims indicates it was actively involved in a crypto drainer scam, as classified by security vendors. The domain, registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, resolved to the IP address 172.67.128.246, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure (AS13335) in the United States. At the time of assessment, the domain was offline, returning an HTTP 403 status, and its page title was recorded as 'Just a moment...', a common placeholder during Cloudflare challenges or misconfigurations. Security vendor detections were limited but notable: 6 of 93 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious.
It appeared on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which align with its classification as a crypto scam. AlienVault OTX listed the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its association with malicious activity. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the use of HTTP/3 and HSTS suggest the domain employed standard security measures, likely to evade basic detection rather than for legitimate purposes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain leveraged Cloudflare's nameservers (cass.ns.cloudflare.com and troy.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting details and complicate takedown efforts.
The domain's creation date, combined with its rapid appearance on blocklists, indicates a short-lived but targeted campaign. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk for crypto-related fraud and ensure it is blocked at the network and endpoint levels. Further investigation into associated wallet addresses or transaction patterns is recommended to identify potential victim interactions.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
