What happened
MalwareTips reports a Nietzschean Penguin airdrop scam that promotes counterfeit claim pages using the PENGUIN token name and the lure of a free token allocation. Reported addresses are nietzscheanpenguin.click, penguins-allocation.xyz and event-penguinonsol.fun. MalwareTips says the pages direct visitors into wallet activity and were described as drainer schemes. The warning concerns these promotions, not every project using penguin imagery. MalwareTips did not connect a wallet; the exact network, contract and beneficiary address were not independently reproduced.
How the scam works
Wallet-drainer lures copy a familiar crypto brand and offer something free: a vote reward, an airdrop, an early-supporter allocation or a trading bonus. The visitor is directed to a 'Connect Wallet' button. Connecting alone usually only shares a public address, but the next prompts can ask for a signature, a token approval or a transfer, and these may be labelled as a claim or vote. An approval or signed permission can let the operator move tokens later without asking again, and blockchain transfers are rarely reversible.
MalwareTips says the right response depends on what was actually approved. Someone who only viewed the page has less to do than someone who signed a transaction or typed a recovery phrase. Check your wallet history or a blockchain explorer, revoke any token permissions you don't recognise, and if a recovery phrase was entered, move the remaining funds to a new wallet. Find claims and events only through a project's official website and verified accounts.
The three domains, nietzscheanpenguin.click, penguins-allocation.xyz and event-penguinonsol.fun, show how such campaigns spread across cheap new addresses. The PENGUIN token project is not accused of running them.

Red flags
- A reward, airdrop or event page on nietzscheanpenguin.click rather than Nietzschean Penguin's official site.
- A 'Connect Wallet' button as the first step to claim.
- Signature or approval requests that don't clearly match a simple claim.
- Requests for a recovery phrase or private key.
- Urgency, countdowns or limited allocations.
If you were targeted
- 1Don't connect a wallet to nietzscheanpenguin.click or sign anything there.
- 2Never type a recovery (seed) phrase or private key into a website or give it to 'support'.
- 3Check announcements only through the project's official website or accounts that you open yourself.
- 4If you connected and approved something, revoke the token approval with your wallet's or the network's approval tool and move remaining assets to a new wallet if you're unsure what you signed.
- 5If you disclosed a recovery phrase, treat the wallet as compromised and move assets to a new wallet created with a new phrase.
- 6Report the site to your wallet provider and, in the U.S., to the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov.
