app[.]pendlme[.]finance

This domain, app.pendlme.finance, is flagged for brand impersonation, specifically targeting Aave. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and is registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of HSTS, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, indicating a level of sophistication in its setup to appear legitimate and secure. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, further contributing to the deceptive nature of the site.

Despite these security measures, the domain is currently offline, returning an HTTP 403 status, which suggests the site has been taken down or is inaccessible. The page title found is 'Markets | Pendle,' which does not directly implicate Aave but aligns with financial services, making it plausible that the site was designed to mimic a legitimate financial platform. Google Safe Browsing flags the domain for social engineering, and it appears on two security blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, indicating a high risk of wallet or seed phishing attacks. Analysis indicates that out of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal, 16 have flagged this domain, suggesting a significant portion of the security community identifies it as a threat.

The domain resolves to an IP address (104.21.53.103) hosted in the United States by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). Defenders should remain vigilant and monitor this domain for any signs of reactivation. They should also ensure that users are educated about the risks of wallet/seed phishing and the importance of verifying URLs and SSL certificates. Regular updates to security blocklists and threat intelligence feeds should be conducted to stay ahead of any potential resurgence of this threat.
