pancakeswap[.]finance-cdn-secure-api-alpha[.]cloud

The domain pancakeswap.finance-cdn-secure-api-alpha.cloud was registered on October 17, 2025 through Web Commerce Communications Limited and is currently taken offline. Infrastructure analysis shows it is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (ASN 13335) with the A record pointing to 188.114.96.3, a Cloudflare‑owned IP located in the United States. The authoritative name servers are ara.ns.cloudflare.com and fattouche.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare DNS. No TLS certificate is presented for the host, indicating that HTTPS was never provisioned or the certificate was removed before the domain was taken down.

Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, reflecting an extremely low reputation. VirusTotal has recorded 13 positive detections out of 95 scanners, and the domain is listed on a single external blocklist. PhishDestroy has already blocked the site, and it is flagged as a crypto‑related scam that impersonates the PancakeSwap brand.

The available intelligence does not include a page title, Safe Browsing verdict, or any Open Threat Exchange (OTX) identifiers, so the exact payload or landing page content remains unknown. Defenders should immediately add the domain to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor the associated IP address for any re‑use, and watch for new registrations that reuse the same naming patterns or Cloudflare name servers. Continuous observation of Cloudflare‑originating IP ranges for similar brand‑impersonation activity is advised, as the attacker may shift to a new host while preserving the same abuse infrastructure.
