# PhishDestroy threat dossier — apps-flareportal.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 10:54:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/apps-flareportal.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.187.235 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: 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 Page title: Flare Mainnet Portal: The blockchain for data ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-09 06:13:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 04:29:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:13:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eaa94-5e23-77ad-a955-0c5120b96ead/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/444fcfee-6e43-48e1-ab74-05e4c7db1289 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apps-flareportal.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apps-flareportal.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apps-flareportal.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apps-flareportal.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apps-flareportal.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:58:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, apps-flareportal.xyz, is identified as a credential harvesting platform targeting users of the Flare blockchain network. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as the legitimate Flare Mainnet Portal, presenting a fraudulent interface designed to capture private keys, recovery phrases, or wallet login credentials. The page title, 'Flare Mainnet Portal: The blockchain for data,' directly mirrors official branding, increasing the likelihood of deception among users seeking to interact with Flare-based decentralized applications or manage digital assets. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of compromise. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.187.235, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Detection engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain in 6 out of 95 scans, while threat intelligence platforms recorded its presence in 2 AlienVault OTX pulses. The domain appears on 4 distinct security blocklists, including those maintained by blockchain security and anti-phishing organizations. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, further corroborating its malicious classification. Users who accessed apps-flareportal.xyz or entered sensitive information should immediately revoke any active sessions and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet. Credentials exposed on this domain should be considered compromised, necessitating the generation of new private keys. Affected individuals are advised to monitor connected accounts for unauthorized transactions and report the incident to relevant blockchain security teams. Network administrators should update firewall rules and endpoint protection systems to block the domain and associated IP address 172.67.187.235 to prevent further access attempts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260609-BFE9E6 Favicon MD5: 814d17c334c1a440d7b9ef16c1081d8c ## 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/apps-flareportal.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apps-flareportal.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.
