## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-23 19:55:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This report analyzes the domain flareclaim-network.live, which poses a threat as a cryptocurrency scam site. The page title "Flare - The blockchain for data" is used to impersonate the Compound brand, indicating a fraudulent attempt to deceive users into engaging with a fake cryptocurrency platform. The site is designed to facilitate cryptocurrency theft by mimicking a legitimate service.

Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of the domain. VirusTotal reports 15 detections out of 95 vendors, with flags from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, and CRDF. Google Safe Browsing flags it for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and it appears on 1 blocklist. The domain is registered with NAMEC-4 (ASN 22612) and hosted on IP 198.54.114.131 in the US, associated with Namecheap, Inc. It has no SSL certificate, and its nameservers are dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com.

The site is currently offline, with a GridinSoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and a DOM risk score of 15. The risk level is high due to its confirmed social engineering and cryptocurrency scam nature, despite being offline.

## 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.
