## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-16 15:40:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates that pendle-finance.xyz was registered on 4 May 2026 through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. The domain resolves to IP 144.31.215.70 and uses DNSPod nameservers a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com. VirusTotal scans show 15 of 91 security vendors flag the domain, supporting a high‑risk classification. The intelligence tags the activity as generic_phishing and the current status is active. Infrastructure points to a single IP address, suggesting a low‑complexity hosting setup typical of short‑lived phishing campaigns. No additional infrastructure, such as CDN or bullet‑proof hosting, is observed. Content analysis has not been performed, so the exact luring technique and targeted brand remain unknown. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter, add the IP 144.31.215.70 to deny lists, and monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and other sandboxes is advised to capture any evolving payloads. Organizations should educate users about unsolicited communications that reference “pendle finance” and advise verification through official channels.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3d99fa2da95dcea3a4a2a1e9090992cc2a33fb457ae2767e89d15154a0e9affb

## 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.
