pancakeswap[.]finance-auth-beta-online-dex[.]cloud

Analysis as of July 23, 2026 indicates that the domain pancakeswap.finance-auth-beta-online-dex.cloud is currently offline but exhibits multiple indicators of a brand-impersonation crypto scam targeting PancakeSwap users. The domain was registered on October 12, 2025 through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolves to the Cloudflare IP 172.67.180.242, which is associated with ASN 13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) located in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are jeremy.ns.cloudflare.com and kia.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. No TLS certificate is presented, and an HTTP request returns the page title "Access Denied", suggesting that the site is either taken down or deliberately serving a denial page. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by PhishDestroy.

VirusTotal reports 14 of 95 scanned security vendors marking the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of trust. The listed scam type is "Crypto Scam" and the domain explicitly impersonates PancakeSwap, a well‑known decentralized exchange. The combination of recent creation, Cloudflare hosting, lack of SSL, low trust scores, and multiple vendor detections suggests an active attempt to lure victims with a counterfeit PancakeSwap login or transaction page. However, because the site is currently offline and only the page title "Access Denied" is observable, the exact content and phishing mechanics remain unverified.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any re‑appearance, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Threat intelligence teams should correlate any observed traffic to the IP 172.67.180.242 with other known malicious Cloudflare‑hosted campaigns and investigate whether the registrar Web Commerce Communications Limited has been used for similar abuse.
