Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain votes-pendlefinance.xyz is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the financial brand Pendle. Analysis indicates that this domain is actively attempting to deceive users by mimicking the official Pendle Finance website, potentially to steal sensitive information or defraud users. Infrastructure analysis reveals that this domain has a VirusTotal detection score of 1/95, indicating a low level of detection among security vendors. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on June 20, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.75.226, which is located in the United States and is associated with Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, which may lend a false sense of security to users. The domain appears on three security blocklists, suggesting that it has been identified by multiple security platforms as a threat. The domain remains active as of the latest assessment. Response actions taken include blocking by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Despite these measures, the low detection score on VirusTotal and the presence of a trusted SSL certificate pose significant risks to users who may not be aware of the impersonation. Security researchers recommend that users exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain and verify the authenticity of any communications or web pages associated with it. Additional monitoring and reporting to relevant authorities are advised to mitigate the ongoing threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-3F1269 TLS cert SHA-256: dc919bc3afcd182774ed0f0888da257250a44c66da712ad62e66508f31af9893 ## 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/votes-pendlefinance.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=votes-pendlefinance.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.
