## 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: 2026-05-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-26 00:27:12 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:56:29 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.gift as a generic phishing domain, likely impersonating a well-known brand, although the specific brand is not known, this domain does not appear to be utilizing a crypto drainer kit. 

The domain flare.gift has been assigned a VirusTotal score of 2/95, indicating a relatively low level of detection by security vendors, it was registered through Key-Systems, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.46.104, which was created on May 16, 2026, and appears on 3 security blocklists, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E7, and is found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. 

This domain is currently offline, having been taken down, which reduces the risk level, however, users should still exercise caution, as the domain may be reactivated or similar domains may be created, therefore, it is essential to verify the authenticity of websites on PhishDestroy, and to be aware of the potential risks associated with generic phishing domains like flare.gift, which can lead to compromised login credentials and other security breaches

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec
TLS cert SHA-256:      03c82baf0e7c1e758a82d8ec37cf628056bbcef9cff684b2525bfc51c6edf65e

## 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.
