## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:17:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies airdrop-pendle.finance as a medium-risk crypto drainer targeting users by impersonating the Pendle brand. This domain was involved in fraudulent schemes likely aiming to steal cryptocurrency assets through deceptive airdrop promises. The threat type categorizes it as a crypto drainer, designed to maliciously extract funds from victims.

Supporting evidence for this assessment includes a very low trust score of 1 out of 100 on Scamadviser and detection by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, the domain is blacklisted on three security blocklists, signaling a consensus on its malicious nature. The site was registered via Cloudflare, Inc. and resolved to the IP address 104.21.77.131. The use of the Angel Drainer kit further confirms the intent to harvest cryptocurrency from users under false pretenses, leveraging a phishing page titled "Airdrop | Pendle" to impersonate the legitimate Pendle brand.

At present, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid any interaction with airdrop-pendle.finance or similar suspicious domains, especially refraining from sharing private keys or authorizing transactions. Users should rely only on verified official channels for Pendle-related airdrops or promotions and maintain vigilance against emerging scams. Continuous monitoring of domains with low reputations and taking a cautious approach towards unsolicited crypto offers remain critical for user safety.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       394661c257dfcefd8f1b5be69321817dc1ecf7f9d7a2d45fe2690ba7a44e02cc

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
