Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pendle.trade as a high-risk phishing domain actively impersonating the Pendle brand. The site falsely advertises an "Airdrop | Pendle" to lure users into compromising their cryptocurrency wallets. Registered on October 25, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain is designed to exploit the trust of Pendle's community. Technical analysis reveals that pendle.trade resolves to IP address 23.177.185.153 and is associated with the Angel Drainer crypto drainer kit, a known toolkit for illicitly extracting funds from victims. The domain is currently flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on four separate security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has detected pendle.trade in one threat pulse, reinforcing its malicious status. As of now, pendle.trade remains active and continues to pose a significant threat to Pendle users. Immediate caution is advised: users should avoid clicking links related to this domain and verify official sources directly through Pendle’s legitimate channels. Security teams are encouraged to block the domain proactively and monitor for related phishing attempts to protect crypto assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ef4f2c872b603a47ddf2d33d71364c26 TLS cert SHA-256: a5dcdaafe6e47ffd09e927fd27e2118d7c82712ba4c1e6941faf1b90a375dec0 ## 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/pendle.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pendle.trade 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.
