anchored·48p9bJ…9AUcSummary
Porkbun LLC is a legitimate ICANN-accredited domain registrar founded circa 2014-2015, headquartered in Sherwood, Oregon, and managing over 3.45 million domains. While the company is not itself a scam operation, it has attracted scrutiny from the crypto security community — including on-chain investigator ZachXBT — for hosting phishing infrastructure linked to Angel Drainer and Inferno Drainer wallet-draining services, including fake Ledger sites. Third-party tracking platforms document hundreds of flagged phishing domains registered through Porkbun and allege that the company's abuse-response enforcement has been inadequate, with a majority of reported domains remaining active after formal abuse reports.
