Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
flare-gov.network is an active high‑risk domain that has been observed in a generic phishing campaign targeting government‑related email addresses. The domain was registered on June 06, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 172.67.140.131. Within weeks of creation the domain appeared on three independent security blocklists, and three commercial filtering services—PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL—have added it to their deny lists.
VirusTotal has recorded detections from 16 of 91 scanned engines, indicating that a notable portion of the security community considers the site malicious. The rapid appearance on blocklists and the multi‑engine detections suggest that the infrastructure is being used to host phishing pages or to redirect victims to credential‑harvesting sites, although the exact content of the landing page has not been publicly disclosed. The use of a Cloudflare IP provides the attacker with DDoS protection and potential anonymity, making takedown more challenging.
Defenders should block any outbound connections to 172.67.140.131, add flare‑gov.network to internal URL filtering lists, and monitor for authentication attempts against government portals that originate from this host. Incident response teams should also consider the domain when investigating recent credential‑theft alerts, and threat‑intel feeds should be updated to reflect the current detection status. Further analysis of HTTP responses, SSL certificates, and page titles is required to confirm the exact phishing payload and to identify any additional infrastructure linked to this campaign.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
