# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pancakelabs.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 12:59:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pancakelabs.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: PancakeSwap ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.54.9 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["kiki.ns.cloudflare.com", "quentin.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Even geduld... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ae23561378b3dcd385b165cc861bc5bc5ecef4d1da1822acea7359a8529931bb ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-19 15:32:53 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-20 06:27:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-28 00:46:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c75e2-1b3f-71bc-aa95-c8d8f7187c65/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pancakelabs.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pancakelabs.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pancakelabs.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pancakelabs.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pancakelabs.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:35:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pancakelabs.finance as a brand impersonation domain targeting PancakeSwap users. The site aimed to trick visitors by mimicking PancakeSwap’s branding, posing risks of credential theft and financial loss. Although the domain is currently offline, such campaigns highlight ongoing threats to decentralized finance platforms. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and resolved to IP address 104.21.54.9. VirusTotal flagged the domain with 6 out of 95 security vendors detecting malicious activity, and it appeared on one security blocklist. The page title “Even geduld...” was noted during analysis, indicating the presence of deceptive content. The infrastructure and domain registration point to a medium-level risk phishing operation. Users are advised to always verify URLs carefully, especially when interacting with financial services like PancakeSwap. Avoid clicking suspicious links or providing personal credentials on untrusted domains. Keeping security software up to date and monitoring official communications from PancakeSwap can help mitigate exposure to such impersonation threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bcc5271f9dea2e11df6ec3772b2e55d1 TLS cert SHA-256: ae23561378b3dcd385b165cc861bc5bc5ecef4d1da1822acea7359a8529931bb ## 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/pancakelabs.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pancakelabs.finance 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.
