airdrop-pengu.claims

This domain, airdrop-pengu.claims, is flagged as an active crypto drainer phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare (AS13335), resolving to the IP address 188.114.96.3, with nameservers dante.ns.cloudflare.com and ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common configuration for malicious domains leveraging Cloudflare’s proxy services to obscure origin servers. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, though it remains operational with an HTTP 403 status, suggesting either a placeholder page or access restrictions to evade detection. The page title, 'Nur einen Moment…', is a generic German phrase often used in loading or interstitial pages, which may indicate an attempt to appear legitimate or delay user interaction while malicious scripts execute. While the exact content of the site has not been fully analyzed, the classification as a crypto drainer is supported by its presence on security vendor lists, with 7 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagging the domain. No specific brand or cryptocurrency project is confirmed as the target based on available data, though the domain name suggests a likely focus on fraudulent airdrop or token claims. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its active status and association with cryptocurrency theft. The use of Cloudflare’s infrastructure complicates origin tracing, but the IP and nameserver details provide actionable indicators for network-level blocking. The HTTP 403 response may indicate the site is in a preparatory or evasive state, so continued monitoring is advised. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain, its resolving IP, and associated nameservers to mitigate potential exposure to users. Further analysis of the site’s scripts or backend connections may reveal additional indicators of compromise.
