No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 13:56:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 16:45:10 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4194-e4a3-7476-8665-51802e59840e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/distribution-flarenetwork.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.distribution-flarenetwork.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=distribution-flarenetwork.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/distribution-flarenetwork.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/distribution-flarenetwork.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:00:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, distribution-flarenetwork.xyz, poses as the legitimate Flare blockchain platform to deploy crypto-draining malware. Visitors are presented with a fraudulent interface mimicking Flare's official wallet or token distribution portal, designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets. Once connected, the site executes unauthorized transactions, siphoning digital assets directly from the victim's wallet to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat specifically targets users expecting Flare-related airdrops, token swaps, or network participation rewards, exploiting trust in the Flare brand to facilitate financial theft. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on July 06, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and malicious web content. AlienVault OTX records the domain in one threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its use in active malicious campaigns. The page title, 'Flare: The blockchain for data,' directly mirrors legitimate Flare branding, reinforcing the impersonation tactic. If you visited distribution-flarenetwork.xyz or interacted with its content, immediately disconnect any connected wallets and cease all transactions. Revoke any smart contract approvals granted to the site using a blockchain explorer or wallet security tool. Scan your device for malware using updated security software, as crypto drainers may deploy additional payloads. Monitor your wallet activity for unauthorized transactions and report the incident to your wallet provider and relevant blockchain security teams. Never reuse passwords or seed phrases across platforms, and verify all future Flare-related communications through official channels only. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a12589eb6bc89b181272e4a0375e2d6a19d0e8f0b5f4215eb0ab19372076b307 ## 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/distribution-flarenetwork.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distribution-flarenetwork.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
