# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flare-event.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 08:50:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flare-event.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: 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: ["celeste.ns.cloudflare.com", "ryan.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-07 Expires: 2027-06-06 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 70524b497a730a408d89b8c1e62cdc678017e0075cecd1fb6e47130b426041b7 ## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-07 11:21:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-07 11:14:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:37:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:22:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, flare-event.network, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive login details, payment information, or personal data. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain mimics legitimate event or service portals, a common tactic in targeted phishing campaigns. The intent is to exploit trust in recognizable branding or event-related communications to extract credentials or financial data for fraudulent use. Evidence confirms the domain's malicious nature through multiple technical indicators. flare-event.network is flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating detection by specialized phishing or malware analysis engines. It appears on three distinct security blocklists, including those maintained by browser-based and cryptocurrency security frameworks. The domain was registered on June 7, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site. Users who have visited flare-event.network or interacted with content linked to this domain should take immediate remediation steps. Disconnect from the site if still active in a browser session and clear all cached data, including cookies and session tokens. Run a full system scan using updated endpoint protection tools to detect potential malware or credential-stealing scripts. Reset passwords for any accounts accessed or entered on the site, prioritizing financial, email, and identity-related services. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available. If payment details were submitted, contact financial institutions to report potential fraud and request transaction monitoring or card replacement. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 70524b497a730a408d89b8c1e62cdc678017e0075cecd1fb6e47130b426041b7 ## 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/flare-event.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flare-event.network 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.
