pudgyminer[.]com

The domain pudgyminer.com was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on July 25 2025 and is currently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the Cloudflare edge address 172.67.176.191, which belongs to ASN 13335 and is located in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are carla.ns.cloudflare.com and eric.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s reverse‑proxy service. No TLS certificate is presented; HTTP connections are either refused or return no secure response, which is consistent with the offline status.

The page title returned by the server, when reachable, is simply “Pudgy”, offering no further context. The site is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, indicating that at least one anti‑phishing feed has identified it as malicious. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the low reputation. The domain is classified as a wallet/seed phishing operation targeting the Ethereum brand, suggesting that any credential‑capture page would aim to harvest private keys or recovery phrases.

VirusTotal has processed the domain with 95 scanning engines and reported no positive detections, but this absence of matches does not imply safety. The limited data leaves several uncertainties: the exact content that was served before takedown, the presence of any additional command‑and‑control infrastructure, and whether the domain was used in a broader campaign. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any resurgence of the same IP or nameserver pair, and correlate any Ethereum‑related credential theft alerts with this indicator. Ongoing investigation is required to determine the full scope of the phishing campaign.
