## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.145.205 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## 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

Last verified:     2026-07-14 12:20:41 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as high risk due to its involvement in credential theft activities. The nature of these activities suggests that users interacting with pendoxa.com may be exposed to attempts to steal sensitive login information. Given the potential impact on affected individuals or organizations, this domain requires immediate attention and mitigation efforts.

Analysis indicates that pendoxa.com was created on October 20, 2025, and is currently active. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.145.205. The domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC. VirusTotal reports that 3 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, highlighting a credible threat. Despite the low number of detections, the domain's association with credential theft raises significant concerns. Currently, pendoxa.com is not widely blocked, which increases the potential risk of exposure.

To mitigate the threat posed by pendoxa.com, users and organizations are advised to implement strict email filtering rules to block communications originating from or linking to this domain. Additionally, educating employees and users about the risks of credential theft and encouraging the use of multi-factor authentication can further reduce the potential impact. Regularly updating security systems to include the latest threat intelligence feeds will enhance protection against such domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a2d86d83f988e98cf88834e14766adf8
TLS cert SHA-256:      9f9bf40753776260d391275a18f6c7c79e7d989fd943a8ebc7413a2da43de6af

## 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.
