Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies flarenet-votes.xyz as a domain involved in a generic phishing operation, specifically brand impersonation, targeting users with a page title claiming to be Flare, a blockchain for data. This domain does not appear to be utilizing a known crypto drainer kit but poses a significant threat due to its convincing impersonation of a legitimate brand. The technical indicators for flarenet-votes.xyz include a VirusTotal score of 3/95, indicating that only a few security vendors have flagged it, and it is registered through GMO Internet, Inc. with an IP address of 104.21.54.20. The domain was created on June 16, 2026, and is currently taken offline, with Google Safe Browsing status unavailable due to its offline state. Furthermore, it appears on 3 security blocklists and has been found in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, showcasing its presence in the threat landscape. Despite being offline, flarenet-votes.xyz still poses a risk due to the nature of its threat type and the possibility of it being resurrected or its tactics being replicated. Users are advised to remain cautious and avoid interacting with any domain that claims to be Flare without verifying its authenticity. Given the elevated risk level associated with this domain, it is crucial for users to prioritize their safety and security by being vigilant and taking necessary precautions when navigating similar online platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-504037 TLS cert SHA-256: 448f69e0bdac7dac8fbb2f7754a26d48694a6e971650c691b4644d1e6f252a54 ## 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/flarenet-votes.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarenet-votes.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.
