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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 13:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 12:20:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 13:32:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:57:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pancakeswap.tel as an elevated risk due to its brand impersonation threat type, which can lead to significant financial losses for unsuspecting users. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it was registered through Tucows Domains Inc. on May 15, 2026, resolving to the IP address 52.223.13.41, while also appearing on 3 security blocklists, and its SSL certificate was issued by GoDaddy.com, specifically GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1, furthermore, it is mentioned in 2 threat intelligence pulses by AlienVault OTX. The domain pancakeswap.tel has been taken offline, but its previous activities are still a cause for concern, with its creation date and registrar information providing valuable context, the domain's presence on multiple blocklists and its low trust scores as indicated by the 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging it, all contribute to its elevated risk level, and as it impersonates PancakeSwap, it is crucial for users to exercise caution when interacting with this domain or any similar domains. To mitigate the risks associated with brand impersonation threats like pancakeswap.tel, users should verify the authenticity of websites before entering sensitive information, and they should be cautious of domains that have similar names to well-known brands, and they should also keep their software and security systems up to date to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities, additionally, being aware of the potential risks and taking proactive measures, such as regularly monitoring their accounts and reporting suspicious activity, can help prevent financial losses and protect their personal information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e24e1a5aff7ce90db2b004d02ea2091b5fa1f8de276525326d683246ef11435b ## 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/pancakeswap.tel/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pancakeswap.tel 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.
