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: elly.ns.cloudflare.com, mcgrory.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-18 Expires: 2027-06-18 Page title: Just a moment...

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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:03:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e88-c9be-7348-9214-54d457a386b9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flares-solstice.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flares-solstice.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flares-solstice.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flares-solstice.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flares-solstice.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 16:06:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain flares-solstice.com has been identified in connection with generic phishing operations. Generic phishing refers to broad campaigns aimed at stealing personal data such as login credentials or financial details by directing users to fake websites. The active status and resolution to 188.114.96.3 indicate that the site is currently operational and potentially serving malicious content to unsuspecting visitors. Risk assessment places it under investigation due to the mismatch between its recent establishment and the absence of widespread security vendor flags. Analysis indicates the domain was created on June 18, 2026, which is a notable indicator given its recent establishment. Registration details show it was processed through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal scanning results display exactly 0/95 detections, meaning no security vendors have flagged it yet despite the threat classification. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services provides basic encryption but does not imply legitimacy. Infrastructure analysis reveals consistent activity without widespread blacklisting at this stage, with the IP 188.114.96.3 serving as the primary resolution point. If access to the domain has occurred, immediate steps include scanning devices for malware, reviewing all accounts for unauthorized access, and enabling two-factor authentication where possible. Users should refrain from entering any information on similar domains and report the incident to relevant authorities or email providers if phishing emails were involved. Ongoing monitoring of threat intelligence feeds is recommended to track any evolution in the domain's status, particularly given its active classification and zero detection count. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 046a5e7eab9a9f28188e733a0d5ff1a08db9c0bf51dfb90a0883a1f3ba6ee231 ## 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/flares-solstice.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flares-solstice.com 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.
