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: ["georgia.ns.cloudflare.com", "kurt.ns.cloudflare.com"] Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b32f4e5018200377d61e24a1403aa0a7295d7a72488b305cf3dc60f2ec0715c1 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:38:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-24 16:20:25 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-19 23:42:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is flaregovernance.xyz a Phishing Site? Analysis of flaregovernance.xyz as of July 19, 2026 shows that the domain is actively serving content and is classified as a high‑risk generic phishing threat. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. DNS resolution is delegated to the Cloudflare nameservers georgia.ns.cloudflare.com and kurt.ns.cloudflare.com, and the TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 authority, confirming the use of a legitimate certificate chain. Registration details list NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar, providing no immediate indication of a reputable entity. HTTP responses return a 403 status code, and the only observed page title is "Just a moment...", suggesting a potential interstitial or redirection step. The domain appears on three external security blocklists and has been specifically blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans recorded five detections out of ninety‑one scanners, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. While the precise phishing payload or targeted brand is not disclosed in the available intelligence, the combination of a high detection count, blocklist presence, and the "Just a moment..." interstitial aligns with typical credential‑harvesting infrastructure. Defenders should prioritize immediate mitigation: add flaregovernance.xyz and its resolving IP 188.114.97.3 to blocklists, enforce DNS sinkholing for the domain, and monitor outbound traffic for attempted connections to the listed IP. Continuous feed updates from the mentioned blocklists and periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal are recommended to track any changes in detection scores. In the absence of further content analysis, the domain should be treated as malicious and excluded from user access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b32f4e5018200377d61e24a1403aa0a7295d7a72488b305cf3dc60f2ec0715c1 ## 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/flaregovernance.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flaregovernance.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
