PhishDestroy identifies flakeswap.finance as a live generic phishing campaign impersonating the legitimate Flake Protocol. This fraudulent platform mimics fast cross-chain swaps under the guise of 'Flake Protocol | Fast Cross-Chain Swap' to deceive cryptocurrency users into connecting wallets and surrendering assets. The domain is actively serving a malicious interface intended to harvest private keys and initiate unauthorized transfers.

This domain was flagged by 4 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating a presently undetected threat on most detection platforms. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registrar details remain unverified due to privacy protection, but the infrastructure is hosted on a bulletproof hosting provider in the Cloudflare network. Trust scores from threat intelligence feeds are critically low, with multiple domain age and reputation engines already marking it as malicious. The page continues to load the fake protocol page and remains accessible with no active takedown at this time.

The threat is currently active and expanding, targeting users searching for cross-chain swap services. PhishDestroy strongly advises users to immediately cease any interaction with flakeswap.finance and report the domain to their security teams or via abuse channels. Block the IP 188.114.96.3 at the firewall and network perimeter. Validate any DeFi platform by checking official social media and verified domains only. Wallet connections to unknown domains must be avoided entirely. Monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized transfers and revoke any suspicious permissions via blockchain explorers like Etherscan or BscScan. Exercise extreme caution when interacting with DeFi platforms and always use hardware wallets with transaction approvals disabled on untrusted sites.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.
