# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flarefoundations-rewards.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 05:36:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarefoundations-rewards.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, LevelBlue, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 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: glen.ns.cloudflare.com, nataly.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2027-06-24 ## 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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 23:58:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 22:00:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efba3-812a-7445-ba13-da9f413b45f5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3a5a31c0-9423-43f4-85ff-b7c9f1c2b400 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flarefoundations-rewards.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flarefoundations-rewards.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flarefoundations-rewards.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flarefoundations-rewards.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flarefoundations-rewards.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 00:00:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates the domain flarefoundations-rewards.xyz is currently active and engaged in a generic phishing operation designed to deceive users into surrendering sensitive credentials or personal data. The infrastructure exhibits no branding affiliation with legitimate reward platforms, suggesting opportunistic exploitation of user trust in reward-based systems. Technical indicators, including the domain resolution to IP 188.114.97.3 and the absence of advanced drainer toolkits, imply a low-to-moderate sophistication threat aimed at broad, untargeted phishing rather than highly tailored credential harvesting. Infrastructure analysis reveals exact technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was created on June 24, 2026. Current VirusTotal detections stand at 5/95, confirming no vendor flags as of the latest scan. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or public blocklists, indicating this infrastructure remains largely undetected in threat intelligence feeds. The lack of detections suggests either a recently deployed campaign or the use of evasion techniques to avoid immediate detection. Current status assessment confirms the domain remains active with no mitigation in place. Response actions should include immediate domain takedown requests to the registrar and hosting provider, alongside IP-based blocking at network perimeter defenses. Given the absence of vendor detections and public blocklist entries, the risk remains elevated until such time as proactive containment measures are enforced. Remaining risk factors include potential expansion of the campaign to additional domains or the integration of more sophisticated phishing toolkits. Continuous monitoring of the IP 188.114.97.3 and related infrastructure is recommended to preempt further abuse. Organizations are advised to block traffic to this domain and IP at the firewall and DNS level to prevent user exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-283FDD ## 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/flarefoundations-rewards.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarefoundations-rewards.xyz 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.
