Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is contributor-firelight.com a phishing site? Analysis indicates that the domain contributor-firelight.com was registered on July 22, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently active. The domain is delegated to Cloudflare nameservers huxley.ns.cloudflare.com and macy.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is a Cloudflare edge node commonly used by threat actors to hide origin infrastructure. VirusTotal records show that four out of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting the presence of malicious indicators despite the relatively low detection count. The domain appears on three independent security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, reinforcing the conclusion that it is being used for malicious phishing campaigns. No public evidence of SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title has been released, so the content served by the site remains unverified. The limited detection history and recent registration date imply a short‑lived campaign that may be targeting specific victims or testing a new phishing kit. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Analysts should request a live capture of the site’s HTTP traffic to confirm the phishing payload and verify whether any credential harvesting pages are present. Ongoing observation is recommended because the infrastructure could be repurposed or expanded, and additional indicators may emerge as the campaign matures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c77b408ef9891cd2e7e4823726c72e171030e57e662d422db00cb72bd711092d ## 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 (operator 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/contributor-firelight.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=contributor-firelight.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
