## 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: 2026-03-03 02:22:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mp.pancake.run as a high-risk domain impersonating the popular decentralized exchange PancakeSwap. The website's page title, 'Home | PancakeSwap,' is crafted to deceive users into believing it is legitimate, potentially leading to credential theft or other malicious activities.

This domain resolves to IP address 66.33.60.67 and is flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appears on two known security blocklists. While the domain registration details are not publicly available, its active status and association with brand impersonation raise significant concerns.

Currently active, mp.pancake.run continues to pose a significant phishing threat to PancakeSwap users. It is strongly advised to verify URLs carefully and avoid providing sensitive information on sites other than the official PancakeSwap platform. Organizations should consider adding this domain to internal security blocklists and educate users about this emerging threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fca50d530ea4525965eb6e11edde9601
TLS cert SHA-256:      74256664ca03d1f08211b9d6046dfd554496f429d8924b0269149ab1dd38383b

## 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.
