# PhishDestroy threat dossier — checker-firelight.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 03:00:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/checker-firelight.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (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 Nameservers: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-21 Expires: 2027-06-21 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2886acc5874f64f703f28b282a46139bdf6a06ae7100aed1dde397c15dac82bb ## 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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:02:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0de3-e400-75da-a2db-6b22527ff354/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/checker-firelight.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.checker-firelight.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=checker-firelight.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/checker-firelight.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/checker-firelight.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 13:06:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk crypto wallet drainer, designed to siphon digital assets from victims through deceptive transaction prompts or malicious smart contract interactions. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is actively targeting users of decentralized finance platforms, with a focus on credential theft and unauthorized fund transfers. The threat type is highly specific, leveraging social engineering to trick users into approving malicious transactions or revealing private keys. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to other fraudulent activities in recent threat intelligence reports. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is actively blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, two widely used security tools in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. VirusTotal detection rates show 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, a low but notable ratio that suggests targeted evasion techniques. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediately revoking any active sessions or token approvals associated with the domain. Users should verify transaction details on the official platform before signing, and employ hardware wallets or multi-signature solutions to reduce exposure. Network-level protections, such as blocking the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.96.3) at the firewall or DNS level, are recommended for organizations. Additionally, monitoring for unusual smart contract interactions or unexpected gas fees can help detect compromise early. Security teams should prioritize user education on recognizing crypto wallet drainer tactics, such as fake approval prompts or phishing pages mimicking legitimate wallet interfaces. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 2886acc5874f64f703f28b282a46139bdf6a06ae7100aed1dde397c15dac82bb ## 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/checker-firelight.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=checker-firelight.network 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.
