# PhishDestroy threat dossier — distributions-flarenetwork.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 10:28:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/distributions-flarenetwork.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.51.253 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US 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 Nameservers: ada.ns.cloudflare.com, will.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-10 Expires: 2027-07-10 Page title: Flare — FLR Rewards Vote HTTP response: 403 ## 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: 2026-07-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-11 10:22:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 18:14:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 12:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5044-8740-7599-9930-ad7950cfa3a4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4814b2d5-bfe5-4bd3-976e-368bc2a5dac4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/distributions-flarenetwork.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.distributions-flarenetwork.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=distributions-flarenetwork.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/distributions-flarenetwork.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/distributions-flarenetwork.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-11 10:53:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, distributions-flarenetwork.live, is flagged as a crypto drainer phishing site targeting users of the Flare Network blockchain platform. Analysis indicates the site is designed to trick victims into connecting wallets, enabling malicious smart contracts to siphon cryptocurrency assets without authorization. The domain mimics legitimate Flare Network distribution or airdrop pages, leveraging social engineering to exploit user trust in blockchain reward programs. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating low initial detection but potential for rapid escalation. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on July 10, 2026, suggesting recent creation to evade blocklists. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.51.253, hosted behind Cloudflare infrastructure, which provides SSL encryption via a Google Trust Services certificate. HTTP/3 is enabled, likely to enhance performance and obfuscate traffic analysis. No listings were found on Google Safe Browsing at the time of assessment, and blocklist adoption remains minimal. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, posing an ongoing threat to Flare Network users. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting by network security providers, wallet integration warnings, and public disclosures to the Flare Network community. Despite low detection rates, the use of Cloudflare and recent registration increases the risk of prolonged undetected operation. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity through official Flare Network channels before interacting with any distribution or airdrop links. Wallet providers should monitor for connections to this domain and implement transaction warnings for associated addresses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-1A7834 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec ## 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/distributions-flarenetwork.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distributions-flarenetwork.live 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.
