# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pancakeswap-finance.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 06:34:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pancakeswap-finance.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: PancakeSwap ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 6 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.160.205 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: OwnRegistrar, Inc. Nameservers: kristin.ns.cloudflare.com, shane.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-06-17 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: eee183d40881f4c09c76b815e3e80e36b3b336fd79f4c04f61d0421a1e86a6dd ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 10:43:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 08:44:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:02:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efdf1-d7d0-765a-b5a4-352dda9c360b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1264d470-2455-4dd6-b7dc-dfc4e5e9257a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pancakeswap-finance.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pancakeswap-finance.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pancakeswap-finance.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pancakeswap-finance.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pancakeswap-finance.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:20:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pancakeswap-finance.live, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation site targeting PancakeSwap, a decentralized finance platform. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent smart contracts or disclosing wallet credentials, aligning with common crypto drainer tactics. No explicit drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the infrastructure and naming convention strongly suggest intent to exploit trust in the PancakeSwap brand for financial theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.160.205, hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335). It was registered on June 17, 2026, through OwnRegistrar, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), providing a false sense of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while it appears on 6 independent security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing status is not explicitly listed, but the domain is actively blocked by multiple wallet and security extensions. As of the latest assessment, pancakeswap-finance.live remains active and unresolved, continuing to pose a significant risk to users. The domain is blocked by several security providers, including browser extensions and wallet integrations, which prevent direct interaction. Users are advised to verify the official PancakeSwap domain (pancakeswap.finance) and avoid any variations, especially those using hyphens or altered TLDs. Given the domain’s persistence and the use of Cloudflare to obfuscate hosting details, ongoing monitoring and proactive blocking are recommended to mitigate exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-89D701 TLS cert SHA-256: eee183d40881f4c09c76b815e3e80e36b3b336fd79f4c04f61d0421a1e86a6dd ## 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 (operator 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/pancakeswap-finance.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pancakeswap-finance.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
