# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flarenetworks-drops.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 14:29:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flarenetworks-drops.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 64/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 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: 104.21.24.242 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US 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: Flare — FLR Rewards Vote 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 23:02:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-15 16:20:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5044-871d-7718-9f12-a09071406cda/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e793e482-673f-4a1a-86fb-02e549736461 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flarenetworks-drops.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flarenetworks-drops.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flarenetworks-drops.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flarenetworks-drops.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flarenetworks-drops.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-11 10:53:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, flarenetworks-drops.live, is flagged as a high-risk cryptocurrency wallet phishing operation. Analysis indicates it impersonates legitimate token airdrop or wallet services to harvest private keys and recovery phrases. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the domain follows common phishing patterns observed in decentralized finance (DeFi) scams. The infrastructure mimics trusted platforms to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.24.242, a Cloudflare-hosted endpoint, and employs HTTP/3 and Cloudflare Browser Insights for performance and evasion. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common practice among phishing sites to appear legitimate. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, suggesting low initial detection rates. No entries in Google Safe Browsing or major blocklists were observed at the time of analysis. The domain remains active and poses a persistent threat to users engaging with cryptocurrency services. Response actions include monitoring for additional detection by security vendors and potential takedown requests to the registrar. The use of Cloudflare complicates mitigation efforts, as it obscures the origin server and provides resilience against standard blocking techniques. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity through official channels and avoid interacting with unsolicited airdrop or wallet-related links. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's operational status and low detection rates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-B84D09 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/flarenetworks-drops.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarenetworks-drops.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.
