Nameservers: 1 Registered: 2025-06-10 Expires: 2026-06-10 Page title: Pendle - Liberating Yield ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R10 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-07-12 19:57:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0197f93d-c27f-778f-9ab7-d53b8e8d591f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pendllte.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pendllte.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pendllte.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pendllte.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pendllte.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:57:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pendllte.finance as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of the Pendle finance platform. Brand impersonation can mislead users into divulging sensitive information or interacting with fraudulent services, undermining trust and potentially causing financial harm. Although this domain is currently offline, users should remain vigilant as such threats may resurface. The domain pendllte.finance was registered on June 10, 2025, through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş. It mimicked Pendle’s branding, including using the page title "Pendle - Liberating Yield," to appear legitimate. This domain was flagged on three security blocklists and received a single detection on VirusTotal out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The registrar and the domain’s brief activity window suggest it was a short-lived attempt at impersonation. Users should avoid visiting pendllte.finance and be cautious when interacting with any domain closely resembling Pendle’s official site. Always confirm URLs directly from official sources and use trusted security tools to detect suspicious activity. Maintaining awareness of brand impersonation tactics is key to protecting personal and financial information from emerging fraudulent domains. ## 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/pendllte.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pendllte.finance 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.
