## INFRASTRUCTURE

## 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 05:23:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies penclle.finance as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain targeting users of the Pendle platform. The domain was designed to illicitly drain cryptocurrency assets, leveraging impersonation tactics to deceive victims. Given its threat type and potential financial impact, users should remain vigilant against interactions with this domain.

The domain penclle.finance was registered on July 11, 2025, through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. and is associated with the Angel Drainer kit, a known toolkit for crypto asset theft. It resolved to IP address 94.26.255.20 and appeared on three separate security blocklists. Although VirusTotal detected flags from only 4 out of 95 security vendors, the domain’s use of Pendle’s branding, including the page title “Pendle - Liberating Yield,” underscores its impersonation intent. These factors collectively validate its malicious infrastructure and operational purpose.

Currently, penclle.finance has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. To protect against similar threats, users should verify domain authenticity before engaging with yield or crypto-related platforms and employ updated security solutions that can identify phishing and crypto drainer kits. Continued monitoring and community reporting through platforms like PhishDestroy remain vital to preventing future incidents tied to this or related threat actors.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       83059e4c1a5c210e5585d96779fe655170817193d43e247c78dffaae7b7ba3a9

## 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.
