Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies active phishing campaign targeting users through firelightdesktopinstaller.icu, a domain masquerading as a legitimate software installer. The threat type is classified as generic phishing, currently active and under investigation. No specific brand is directly impersonated in the domain name, but the lure likely mimics trusted software distribution channels to deceive victims into downloading malicious payloads. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating low detection rates despite active hosting. It resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.1 and operates under a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was created on April 25, 2026, rendering it a recently established threat infrastructure. The absence of detections on VirusTotal suggests potential evasion techniques or delayed signature updates, emphasizing the need for proactive user vigilance. The current status of firelightdesktopinstaller.icu remains active, with no confirmed blocklists or trust score reductions at this time. Users are strongly advised to avoid downloading any files or software from this domain. Organizations and individuals should implement network-level blocking for the IP address 64.29.17.1 and monitor ingress traffic for connections to this domain. Additionally, ensure endpoint security solutions are updated to detect potential payload delivery mechanisms associated with this campaign. Given the low detection rate, manual verification of software sources and reliance on trusted repositories are critical mitigations. Users who may have interacted with this domain should scan their systems for unauthorized installations or suspicious processes and report indicators to relevant threat intelligence platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9f504444f85a5af2eef9264b02ae40be TLS cert SHA-256: cf0b1a4377a43dd145839732684f83b7e97cb05310501e8ffcd82e9658742a56 ## 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/firelightdesktopinstaller.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firelightdesktopinstaller.icu 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.
