# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flarenetwork-foundation.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 04:28:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarenetwork-foundation.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 71/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.174.13 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: ada.ns.cloudflare.com, will.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-10 Expires: 2027-07-10 Page title: flarenetwork-foundation.live HTTP response: 403 ## 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: 2026-07-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-11 10:22:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 23:01:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 06:17:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5044-86c4-7639-9568-afc4217818e7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5f6989e5-16f3-4c14-a22a-8461d4e722ba Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flarenetwork-foundation.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flarenetwork-foundation.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flarenetwork-foundation.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flarenetwork-foundation.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flarenetwork-foundation.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-11 10:53:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a confirmed phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users under the guise of a legitimate foundation. Analysis indicates it operates as a generic_phishing threat, designed to harvest credentials, private keys, or financial details through fraudulent web forms. The risk level remains under_investigation due to emerging indicators and lack of widespread detection. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to IP address 172.67.174.13, a Cloudflare-hosted endpoint leveraging HTTP/3 for enhanced performance and evasion. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it yet. No blocklist entries or negative trust scores were identified in public repositories. Mitigation requires immediate action from network defenders and end users. Organizations should block the domain and its resolving IP (172.67.174.13) at perimeter security controls, including firewalls, DNS filters, and email gateways. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to recognize the domain’s SSL certificate fingerprint and HTTP/3 traffic patterns. Users are advised to verify foundation-related communications through official channels only, avoiding links from unsolicited messages. Cryptocurrency holders should enable hardware-based 2FA and cross-check URLs against the legitimate foundation’s verified domains. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-BE6BF7 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec ## 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/flarenetwork-foundation.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarenetwork-foundation.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.
