# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pudypenguin.site
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 13:53:05 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pudypenguin.site/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/94 security vendors flagged this domain
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-29

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 12:21:05 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-11 11:46:32 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

Is pudypenguin.site a Credential Harvesting Phishing Site?

This domain is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to mimic legitimate login portals and extract sensitive user credentials. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was specifically engineered to deceive users into submitting account details, payment information, or other personally identifiable data through fraudulent web forms. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with targeted phishing campaigns, including cloned interfaces and obfuscated redirect chains.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 29, 2026, indicating recent deployment prior to detection. Security telemetry confirms 8 out of 95 antivirus engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while three independent security blocklists have incorporated it into their filtering rulesets. The domain registrar remains undisclosed in public threat feeds, though passive DNS records suggest ephemeral hosting patterns typical of phishing operations.  Users who accessed pudypenguin.site should immediately revoke any credentials entered on the site, particularly if reused across other platforms. Monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts. If browser sessions were active during the visit, clear cached data and run a full system scan using updated security tools to detect potential secondary payloads or tracking scripts.

## 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 (operator 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.
