# PhishDestroy threat dossier — governance-pendlefl.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 21:51:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/governance-pendlefl.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Pendle ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["coco.ns.cloudflare.com", "vern.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-15 Page title: Pendle - Liberating Yield ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e1a9df47295ac55b6a1bc77fabf8560be6b6d79a45fde07df398407b17a67269 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-15 06:05:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8f17-96bc-753e-9a48-2c6014276d05/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/governance-pendlefl.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.governance-pendlefl.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=governance-pendlefl.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/governance-pendlefl.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/governance-pendlefl.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-15 06:06:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies governance-pendlefl.com as an active brand impersonation campaign masquerading as the legitimate DeFi protocol Pendle. This domain was flagged on June 10, 2025, and is designed to deceive users into entering credentials or transferring assets under the false pretense of governance participation. The threat actor registered the domain through Dynadot Inc, leveraging its similarity to official Pendle domains to exploit trust and harvest sensitive information. This domain exhibits multiple red flags consistent with phishing infrastructure. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may provide an initial sense of legitimacy to visitors. Despite its recent creation, governance-pendlefl.com has not yet been flagged by security vendors, with VirusTotal currently reporting 0 detections out of 95 scans. This low detection rate highlights the stealthy nature of the campaign and the need for heightened vigilance. The domain’s age, registrar choice, and SSL configuration are all tactical elements employed to evade immediate detection. Users who visited governance-pendlefl.com should immediately assess any interactions, particularly if credentials or financial information were entered. Disconnect from the domain immediately and revoke any exposed credentials on official Pendle platforms. Report the domain to security teams or block it using network defenses. Monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider running a malware scan on devices used to access the site. Users are advised to access Pendle exclusively through verified domains and channels to avoid further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ef4f2c872b603a47ddf2d33d71364c26 TLS cert SHA-256: e1a9df47295ac55b6a1bc77fabf8560be6b6d79a45fde07df398407b17a67269 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/governance-pendlefl.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=governance-pendlefl.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
