# PhishDestroy threat dossier — check-firelight.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 05:39:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/check-firelight.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.26.142 (US, San Francisco) 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 Registered: 2026-06-09 Expires: 2027-06-09 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 775f10b82738616752da4391c79e2664fcc97a25539e0a8e6939ea93e8e4b1e6 ## 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: 2026-06-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 15:29:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 15:28:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:33:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:34:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain check-firelight.finance is currently active and classified as a high-risk cryptocurrency wallet phishing threat. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to impersonate legitimate wallet services, likely targeting users of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to harvest private keys, seed phrases, or login credentials. The domain exhibits no overt branding in its current state, but the page title 'Just a moment...' suggests the use of anti-bot or cloaking mechanisms to evade detection and analysis. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 09, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.26.142, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), a network commonly leveraged by threat actors to obscure server origins and enhance resilience against takedowns. The domain is flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and appears on three independent security blocklists. Its SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), provides encryption but does not validate legitimacy, as phishing domains routinely employ valid certificates to appear trustworthy. The domain has been explicitly blocked by multiple cryptocurrency security platforms, further corroborating its malicious intent. Current status confirms the domain remains active and operational. Risk assessment indicates a high likelihood of continued exploitation, particularly against users engaging with DeFi or wallet applications. Recommended actions include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter, deployment of endpoint detection rules to flag any connections to 104.21.26.142, and integration of the domain into threat intelligence feeds for real-time monitoring. Organizations should also conduct internal audits for any prior exposure to the domain and educate users on verifying wallet interfaces and avoiding interactions with unsolicited links or prompts. Given the domain’s use of Cloudflare and valid SSL, users are advised to rely on multi-factor authentication, hardware wallets, and verified browser extensions to mitigate credential theft risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 775f10b82738616752da4391c79e2664fcc97a25539e0a8e6939ea93e8e4b1e6 ## 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/check-firelight.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=check-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.
