## 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: 2026-03-19 05:39:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pednldle.finance as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, posing a medium-level risk to users. Phishing threats like this are significant because they attempt to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information, which can lead to financial loss or identity theft. Although this domain's exact impersonation target is unclear, its suspicious nature and presence on multiple blocklists warrant caution.

The domain pednldle.finance resolves to the IP address 104.21.48.1 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It appears on three security blocklists and has been flagged by three out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Currently, the domain is offline and displays a placeholder message indicating the page is for sale, which may suggest it is no longer actively used for phishing but was previously involved in malicious activity.

Users should avoid visiting pednldle.finance or providing any personal or financial information if encountered. It is advisable to rely on official and verified websites for financial transactions and to keep security software up to date. If users suspect they have interacted with this domain, they should monitor their accounts for unusual activity and consider changing passwords and enabling multifactor authentication where possible.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       c6670425515377d60b8aece9b9135b29a0bc0f67c11f7b06959d4985dfd24687

## 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.
