pendlefi-registration[.]xyz

PhishDestroy identifies pendlefi-registration.xyz as an active crypto drainer domain designed to impersonate Pendle Finance. The threat level remains under investigation but exhibits high-risk indicators due to its specific targeting and deployment method.

This domain was flagged with zero detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal, suggesting it has evaded broad detection thus far. It resolves to IP 172.67.131.64 and utilizes Cloudflare nameservers (adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain was registered on June 20, 2024, via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, which serves as an additional risk factor given the registrar’s susceptibility to bulk registrations. No known blocklist entries or trust score penalties have been observed, but the absence of detections does not equate to safety. Its recent creation and active status further amplify concerns about potential escalation in malicious activity.

To mitigate exposure to this threat, users should avoid interacting with pendlefi-registration.xyz entirely. For professionals monitoring this domain, blocking the IP 172.67.131.64 at the network level is recommended. Additionally, cross-referencing suspicious domains against PhishDestroy’s centralized threat intelligence feed can help prevent downstream compromise. Given the crypto drainer’s modus operandi, verifying URLs prior to any transaction-related interaction is critical. Proactive threat hunting should prioritize domains mimicking DeFi protocols, particularly those registered recently and leveraging reputable infrastructure like Cloudflare to evade scrutiny.
