Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies firelight.world as an active credential-harvesting domain engineered to trick users into surrendering login credentials under the guise of a legitimate service. The site mimics well-known login portals, presenting a familiar interface to lower user suspicion while silently exfiltrating entered data. Security analysis indicates that firelight.world resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and currently shows no detections on VirusTotal (0/95 detections), suggesting it has not yet been widely recognized by automated scanning engines despite observable malicious patterns. The domain was registered on May 04, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with short-lived or disposable malicious domains. Threat assessment reveals firelight.world poses a high immediate risk to users who may inadvertently enter sensitive credentials. The use of Let's Encrypt SSL certificates provides a false sense of legitimacy, while the domain's recency and low detection rate indicate it is likely in the early operational phase of a phishing campaign. The infrastructure (IP 188.114.97.3) hosts multiple suspicious domains in close temporal proximity, reinforcing behavioral patterns consistent with credential theft campaigns. Given the zero detection on VirusTotal and the domain's recent creation, the risk of exposure to untrained or inattentive users is elevated, particularly if the site is promoted via convincing phishing emails or impersonation of trusted entities. Users who have visited firelight.world should immediately change any passwords entered on the site and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized access. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible as a compensating control. If no credentials were entered, avoid interacting further with the domain and consider reporting it to your email provider or security software vendor. Network administrators should block the domain and the associated IP address (188.114.97.3) at the firewall level to prevent lateral exposure. Remain vigilant for follow-on phishing communications leveraging the harvested data, as compromised credentials are frequently repurposed in subsequent attacks. This domain is under active investigation and should be treated as hostile until further evidence suggests otherwise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-978E97 Favicon MD5: 774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 741dd1ca8dce00644f90a360bea0aab39fcdd035b13510129d9a1ecb99fe7593 ## 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/firelight.world/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firelight.world 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.
