Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, flare-staking.github.io, is flagged as an active phishing resource targeting users of the Flare Network staking platform. Analysis indicates the page title explicitly mimics "Flare Staking," suggesting an intent to deceive victims into disclosing wallet credentials or private keys under the guise of legitimate staking operations. No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage, though the domain leverages GitHub Pages infrastructure, a common vector for low-cost, high-velocity phishing distribution. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 185.199.108.153, a GitHub-operated endpoint with no prior blocklist history in this context. The domain is registered through GitHub, Inc., and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, providing a superficial layer of legitimacy. As of the latest scan (seed de1147), the resource has evaded detection across all 95 engines on VirusTotal, returning a 0/95 score. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing or other major blocklists at the time of assessment, though this may reflect the campaign's early-stage deployment rather than inherent sophistication. Current status remains active, with no takedown or mitigation observed. The domain's use of GitHub Pages complicates traditional response actions, as it relies on a legitimate service provider rather than a dedicated malicious host. Remaining risk is elevated due to the combination of zero detections, active status, and targeting of cryptocurrency users—a demographic frequently exploited for financial gain. Users are advised to verify staking platforms via official Flare Network channels and treat unsolicited staking offers, particularly those hosted on third-party domains, with extreme caution. Monitoring for changes in detection status and registrar actions is recommended. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5de85cfa28ab65d77d57646cc411eecd TLS cert SHA-256: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 ## 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-staking.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flare-staking.github.io 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.
