# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flarefnd-prelaunch.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-23 23:32:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarefnd-prelaunch.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Cloudflare ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.134.73 (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: hera.ns.cloudflare.com, walt.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-23 Expires: 2027-07-23 Page title: Suspected Phishing | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 861bfbb47398097e8cc06cb6fdfee33da5de3989782aa6beba8b9d89c7934b17 ## 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: 2026-07-23 12:05:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-23 10:12:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-24 00:20:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-24 00:04:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8e6e-d3e4-760f-99d5-89e148126fe3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f7922e27-5f82-410d-a4dc-e6157d3ffe6b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flarefnd-prelaunch.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flarefnd-prelaunch.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flarefnd-prelaunch.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flarefnd-prelaunch.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flarefnd-prelaunch.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 12:05:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] flarefnd-prelaunch.live Phishing Campaign Detected This domain is flagged as an active generic phishing infrastructure. flarefnd-prelaunch.live was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and its creation timestamp is 23 July 2026, matching the report date, which suggests a newly‑minted credential‑harvesting site. The authoritative nameservers are hera.ns.cloudflare.com and walt.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the hosting provider is Cloudflare. DNS resolution points to 172.67.134.73, a Cloudflare edge address that is shared by many unrelated legitimate services, complicating IP‑based blocking but allowing network‑level filtering of the specific domain name. VirusTotal analysis shows that four out of ninety‑one scanning engines have classified the domain as malicious, providing independent confirmation of its phishing intent. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, demonstrating that at least one community‑driven feed already treats it as hostile. Current status is listed as active, meaning the site is reachable and likely serving phishing pages. Defenders should immediately add flarefnd-prelaunch.live to URL filtering, DNS sinkhole, and proxy block lists. Because the IP belongs to a shared Cloudflare pool, host‑based blocks may cause collateral impact; therefore, name‑based controls are preferred. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its associated Cloudflare nameservers is recommended to detect any rapid re‑registration or pivot to additional subdomains. Sharing the indicator set—including the domain, registrar, creation date, nameservers, and IP address—with internal threat‑intel platforms and external information‑sharing communities will improve collective visibility and enable faster remediation across the ecosystem. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260723-61BB25 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: 861bfbb47398097e8cc06cb6fdfee33da5de3989782aa6beba8b9d89c7934b17 ## 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/flarefnd-prelaunch.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarefnd-prelaunch.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.
