illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## 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 02:28:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pancakaewap.finance as a low-risk phishing domain recently taken offline. Although the domain is currently inactive, it was flagged due to suspicious activity that could lead to compromised personal data. Users should remain cautious as such domains can still pose threats if reactivated or if related sites emerge.

This phishing domain likely attempted to deceive visitors by mimicking legitimate financial services to collect sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. Despite its low detection rate on some security platforms, multiple blocklists have flagged the domain, indicating coordinated efforts to disrupt its malicious use.

Users are advised not to visit or interact with pancakaewap.finance or any related links. Employ strong security measures including updated antivirus software and use trusted sources when accessing financial services. Reporting suspicious domains to cybersecurity platforms helps protect the broader community from phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       4c13d452dd5d49671bd93ca32f2b4f85c78e39b6ab0ad1f38d98ed267f8fd896

## 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.
