# PhishDestroy threat dossier — airdrop-firelight.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 15:09:17 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/airdrop-firelight.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Airdrop Scam Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.220.217 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-06-17 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fe50fbbbb587b7b9786adea0a7c9f886b1ed301a820c9591cc9a804a4b2cd105 ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 15:36:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e70-0343-71de-bdab-79d6c4bbdd0e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/airdrop-firelight.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.airdrop-firelight.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=airdrop-firelight.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/airdrop-firelight.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/airdrop-firelight.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:00:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, airdrop-firelight.finance, is identified as a high-risk crypto drainer infrastructure designed to siphon digital assets from connected wallets. Analysis indicates no legitimate brand association, suggesting the site operates as a standalone malicious portal. The threat leverages social engineering tactics, such as fake airdrop promotions, to lure victims into authorizing transactions that enable unauthorized fund transfers. No known drainer kit signatures have been conclusively linked to this domain at this time, though behavioral patterns align with common crypto drainer frameworks. Infrastructure analysis reveals critical technical indicators: the domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED with a creation date of June 17, 2026, indicating likely typosquatting or preemptive registration. It resolves to IP address 172.67.220.217, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint that obscures backend hosting details. VirusTotal reports 9 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on three independent security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet classified this domain, leaving a gap in browser-based protections for unsuspecting users. As of the latest assessment, airdrop-firelight.finance remains active and continues to resolve to the same IP address, posing an ongoing threat to cryptocurrency holders. Immediate response actions include blacklisting the domain across enterprise and consumer security tools, revoking any wallet authorizations granted to the site, and monitoring for transaction anomalies. Despite these measures, the risk persists due to the domain’s operational status and the irreversible nature of crypto transactions. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity before connecting wallets, employ hardware-based transaction signing, and report the domain to relevant security communities for broader mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: fe50fbbbb587b7b9786adea0a7c9f886b1ed301a820c9591cc9a804a4b2cd105 ## 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/airdrop-firelight.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=airdrop-firelight.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.
