Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, flarenetworks-phase1.live, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting users of the Flare (FLR) network. Registered on July 9, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain remains active as of July 12, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The page title, 'Flare — FLR Rewards Vote,' suggests an attempt to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent reward or voting schemes, a common tactic in cryptocurrency-related phishing. Seven of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, and it appears on two security blocklists. It is also blocked by SEAL and MetaMask, indicating prior identification as a threat. The domain has been documented in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious classification. While the exact content and mechanics of the phishing operation are not yet fully analysed, the combination of a recently registered domain, cryptocurrency-themed branding, and security vendor detections provides strong evidence of fraudulent intent. Defenders should treat this domain as active and high-risk. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.96.3 and domain-based filtering are recommended. Monitoring for related infrastructure, such as newly registered domains with similar naming patterns or resolving to the same IP, may help identify additional threats. Users should be advised to avoid interaction with the domain, particularly any prompts related to FLR rewards or voting, as these are likely designed to harvest credentials or private keys. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-F2DE14 TLS cert SHA-256: cb489962e164572f01fea6e5c50eda45cf6fd969994588f07210180af7bcb888 ## 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-phase1.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarenetworks-phase1.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.
