No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:34:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 01:17:55 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc9fc-dc14-7042-82d9-2f0c5f1d6d51/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flare-network.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flare-network.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flare-network.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flare-network.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flare-network.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:37:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies flare-network.org as an active crypto-drainer campaign designed to siphon cryptocurrency wallet assets through fraudulent Web3 transactions. The infrastructure remains live and is presently serving malicious JavaScript payloads to visitors drawn via phishing e-mails, social-media links, and fake wallet-interaction pages. Any user who navigates to this domain risks immediate asset exfiltration if browser extensions or wallets are unlocked while the page is open. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors at the time of analysis and is registered through Netdorm, Inc. dba DnsExit.com. It resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.97.3 and was created on April 24, 2026. At present the domain is not listed on any public blocklists and holds a Netcraft site-trust score of 0 and an SSL Labs rating of T with a Let’s Encrypt certificate. The low detection rate should not be interpreted as harmlessness; fresh domains with zero vendor flags are a common characteristic of emergent crypto-drainer operations. The campaign remains active today. Concrete recommendations include immediate network-level blocking of the domain (flare-network.org) and the underlying IP (188.114.97.3), disabling Web3 browser extensions while browsing, clearing cached wallet connections, and educating users to verify destination URLs via official project channels before any transaction approval. Continuous monitoring of outbound DNS and IP traffic for connections to this domain or IP is advised, with escalation to incident-response playbooks if any wallet-signature events are detected. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: d235a8f3090a623350a2295f6e05bd3ec22af54f65372fc84b848a441210904a ## 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-network.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flare-network.org 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.
