# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flarefn-launch.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 04:52:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarefn-launch.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: jocelyn.ns.cloudflare.com, lee.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-23 Expires: 2027-07-23 Page title: Flare — FLR Rewards Vote HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1352e66302906fa8f73e49335dfbff447d5c1ac1085ff8a473dc6fa7eb72c6e0 ## 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: 2026-07-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-26 14:46:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-26 12:48:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 04:20:56 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-27 00:56:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f9e75-35c2-761c-bc6d-272ca290dd63/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5d4569d8-d893-4701-878f-edc83f1dfdc4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flarefn-launch.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flarefn-launch.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flarefn-launch.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flarefn-launch.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flarefn-launch.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 14:49:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is flarefn-launch.live a phishing site? Analysis indicates that the newly registered domain flarefn-launch.live resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on July 23, 2026 and is currently registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. DNS resolution is served by Cloudflare nameservers jocelyn.ns.cloudflare.com and lee.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting use of Cloudflare's CDN and DDoS mitigation services. The only visible artifact on the site is the page title “Flare — FLR Rewards Vote”, which aligns with a generic phishing classification. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that at least one trusted feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records show that the site has been scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of the engines raised a detection, but the absence of a match does not constitute a safety indication. No additional intelligence, such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or content analysis, is available at this time. Uncertainty remains around the specific phishing campaign mechanics, the targeted brand or credential type, and whether any payload is delivered beyond the landing page. The short lifespan of the domain combined with rapid blocklisting suggests an opportunistic campaign that may be short‑lived. Defenders should proactively block the domain at the network perimeter and update any URL filtering or DNS sinkhole policies to include flarefn-launch.live. Monitoring of outbound traffic to the associated IP address 188.114.96.3 is advisable, as the host may serve additional malicious resources. Continuous re‑scanning through multi‑engine services such as VirusTotal is recommended to capture any future changes in the payload or classification. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-1C611F Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: 1352e66302906fa8f73e49335dfbff447d5c1ac1085ff8a473dc6fa7eb72c6e0 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarefn-launch.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarefn-launch.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
