# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flareclaim.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 10:43:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flareclaim.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Seclookup Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.54.114.243 (US, Dallas) ASN: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Hosting org: Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ["dns1.namecheaphosting.com", "dns2.namecheaphosting.com"] Registered: 2026-05-06 Page title: Flare: The blockchain for data ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2026-11-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 75f45acdf92a938a48735a74ae332b260a8e4e7e585f569a81b479e43f1b90e0 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.flareclaim.online ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-06 14:00:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-17 19:40:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 04:09:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dfcef-9d0b-75db-adf1-a3d73f325fca/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flareclaim.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flareclaim.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flareclaim.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flareclaim.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flareclaim.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-06 14:02:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies flareclaim.online as an active crypto-drainer domain designed to siphon cryptocurrency from unsuspecting victims under the guise of token or reward claims. The infrastructure mimics legitimate claim portals to deceive users into connecting wallets and approving fraudulent transactions. Security researchers have linked this domain to a drainer kit capable of harvesting private keys, transaction approvals, and token balances via malicious smart-contract interactions. While the exact drainer payload has not been fully reverse-engineered in open sources, observed behavior aligns with modular JavaScript-based drainers commonly distributed through fake airdrop or reward websites. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the following technical indicators: VirusTotal detection ratio of 4 out of 95 security engines as of the latest scan, registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, resolving to IP address 198.54.114.243, and using a Sectigo Limited SSL certificate. The domain was created on April 30, 2026, and has been identified on two public blocklists. It is currently blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, indicating confirmed malicious intent and integration into major security ecosystems. The short domain age coupled with zero-day characteristics suggests opportunistic deployment targeting cryptocurrency holders seeking rewards or claims. flareclaim.online remains active and poses an elevated risk to users interacting with it. Response actions include immediate blacklisting by security vendors and browser extensions, but the domain continues to evade full takedown due to fast flux or registrar delays. Remaining risk is elevated due to the domain's recent creation, minimal historical data, and active use in campaigns likely distributed via social media, forums, or phishing emails. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this domain, verify any claim-related websites through official channels only, and report suspicious domains to their security providers or communities like PhishDestroy. The combination of a crypto-focused threat, low detection coverage, and active blocking by multiple security tools underscores the need for heightened vigilance in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c9969290d93dced25e7a0f6fadf98911 TLS cert SHA-256: 75f45acdf92a938a48735a74ae332b260a8e4e7e585f569a81b479e43f1b90e0 ## 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/flareclaim.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flareclaim.online 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.
