# PhishDestroy threat dossier — strc-pendle.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 05:52:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/strc-pendle.app/ ## 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: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.61.124 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: huxley.ns.cloudflare.com, macy.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-11 Expires: 2027-05-11 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e21138b7fc22b0d2a44e545c351888156a3d4f787223bd35e6aee93f84a3c20d ## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 00:06:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 22:09:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efbaa-61a5-7294-8a78-f35a29f63856/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c470219a-55d1-4245-be88-1265cd29be62 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/strc-pendle.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.strc-pendle.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=strc-pendle.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/strc-pendle.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/strc-pendle.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:38:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain strc-pendle.app is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Pendle, a decentralized finance protocol. Analysis indicates the site was designed to mimic legitimate Pendle services, likely to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or interacting with malicious smart contracts. As of the latest verification, the domain has been taken offline, though residual risk may persist for users who previously engaged with it. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on May 11, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate registry manipulation or data entry error. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.61.124, a Cloudflare-associated endpoint commonly used to obfuscate hosting origins. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain in 3 of 95 scans, while it appears on three distinct security blocklists. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number E7), a legitimate provider often exploited by threat actors to lend superficial credibility. The observed page title, 'Just a moment...', suggests the use of Cloudflare protection or a placeholder page prior to takedown. Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, organizations and users should remain vigilant for similar impersonation attempts, particularly those leveraging future-dated domain registrations or Cloudflare IP ranges. Recommended actions include monitoring for re-registration under similar naming schemes, blocking the domain and associated IP at network perimeters, and alerting users to verify Pendle-related communications exclusively through official channels. Security teams should also review logs for prior connections to 104.21.61.124 or interactions with the domain to assess potential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-D40061 Favicon MD5: ef4f2c872b603a47ddf2d33d71364c26 TLS cert SHA-256: e21138b7fc22b0d2a44e545c351888156a3d4f787223bd35e6aee93f84a3c20d ## 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/strc-pendle.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=strc-pendle.app 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.
