## 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.

flareauth.top Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain flareauth.top hosted a suspended page titled "Account Suspended" and was categorized as an Account Takeover scam. This threat involves attempts to steal user login credentials or session tokens, posing a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive accounts.

Technical analysis shows the domain was flagged by 15 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detection from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar. It was listed on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered via Cosmotown, Inc. on 2025-12-27 and hosted on IP address 192.142.54.88, located in the Netherlands, under AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. No SSL certificate was present. The nameservers were ns1.hostcreed.com and ns2.hostcreed.com.

The domain is currently SUSPENDED, indicating it has been taken down or disabled. The risk level is high due to the account takeover threat and multiple security vendor detections, but the suspension mitigates immediate danger.

## 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 (operator 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.
