## 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: 2026-03-03 16:19:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pendlee.finance-connect-chain-v2.com as a medium-risk generic phishing domain designed to deceive users. The domain exhibits behaviors typical of phishing attacks aimed at harvesting sensitive financial information.

This domain was flagged on three separate security blocklists and registered through Hello Internet Corp. Created on February 21, 2026, pendlee.finance-connect-chain-v2.com has been detected by multiple security vendors, with a minority confirming its malicious intent. The domain’s infrastructure suggests an attempt to masquerade as a legitimate finance-related service to lure victims.

Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, vigilance is advised when encountering similar domain patterns. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with suspicious links and ensuring up-to-date security software to mitigate phishing threats effectively.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      2b0b4bba7c8f3d326da5cd3fcfc815a866eda6971fac6d2bb80d614a401de241

## 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.
