# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pendlefi-registration.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 21:44:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pendlefi-registration.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Pendle ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.131.64 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-20 Expires: 2027-06-20 Page title: Just a moment... ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 20:51:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 19:08:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efaf7-df37-7572-b7d0-61f38965661c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9189892d-8678-4cc4-98ad-8d40b3a0b516 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pendlefi-registration.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pendlefi-registration.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pendlefi-registration.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pendlefi-registration.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pendlefi-registration.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 20:54:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pendlefi-registration.xyz as an active crypto drainer domain designed to impersonate Pendle Finance. The threat level remains under investigation but exhibits high-risk indicators due to its specific targeting and deployment method. This domain was flagged with zero detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal, suggesting it has evaded broad detection thus far. It resolves to IP 172.67.131.64 and utilizes Cloudflare nameservers (adam.ns.cloudflare.com, danica.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain was registered on June 20, 2024, via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, which serves as an additional risk factor given the registrar’s susceptibility to bulk registrations. No known blocklist entries or trust score penalties have been observed, but the absence of detections does not equate to safety. Its recent creation and active status further amplify concerns about potential escalation in malicious activity. To mitigate exposure to this threat, users should avoid interacting with pendlefi-registration.xyz entirely. For professionals monitoring this domain, blocking the IP 172.67.131.64 at the network level is recommended. Additionally, cross-referencing suspicious domains against PhishDestroy’s centralized threat intelligence feed can help prevent downstream compromise. Given the crypto drainer’s modus operandi, verifying URLs prior to any transaction-related interaction is critical. Proactive threat hunting should prioritize domains mimicking DeFi protocols, particularly those registered recently and leveraging reputable infrastructure like Cloudflare to evade scrutiny. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-B321DA Favicon MD5: ef4f2c872b603a47ddf2d33d71364c26 ## 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/pendlefi-registration.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pendlefi-registration.xyz 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.
