Analysis of flare.selfhosted.social indicates a high‑risk generic phishing operation that remains active as of July 12, 2026. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Cloudflare, Inc., and uses the Cloudflare nameservers drew.ns.cloudflare.com and katja.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP address 172.67.141.27, which is hosted in the United States under ASN 13335 (Cloudflare). The site presents a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1 and returns HTTP status 200, employing Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3. Threat intelligence shows the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, appears on one public security blocklist, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100. VirusTotal scans report four of ninety‑three security vendors flagging the domain, reinforcing the phishing classification. The page title "Selfhosted.social" provides no additional context about the targeted brand or content. Given the observed infrastructure, low trust score, and vendor detections, defenders should treat flare.selfhosted.social as malicious, enforce network‑level blocking, add the domain to local blocklists, and monitor for any related activity. Further investigation of the hosted page content is required to determine the specific credential‑capture mechanisms employed.

Stored crawler-versus-browser observations for this host, plus a live fingerprint check for Keitaro-style traffic distribution systems.
For the registrable domain selfhosted.social behind this subdomain, 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.

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.
