# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flaresnetwork.eth.limo ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-13 12:52:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flaresnetwork.eth.limo/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 90/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Sophos, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 3.135.72.151 (US, Dublin) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (us-east-2) Registrar: Tucows Domains Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-814.awsdns-37.net", "ns-1689.awsdns-19.co.uk", "ns-48.awsdns-06.com", "ns-1382.awsdns-44.org"] Registered: 2026-05-11 Page title: Flare | Bridge Your XRP to DeFi ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 80cb4b120e5ac49f8bdb1921c12091e660a010df74eb6a6831d2a3816298078a ## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-11 03:56:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-13 13:40:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:07:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e1487-6674-75ff-bb93-bf77482e891f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flaresnetwork.eth.limo crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flaresnetwork.eth.limo Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flaresnetwork.eth.limo AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flaresnetwork.eth.limo URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flaresnetwork.eth.limo/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-11 03:57:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies flaresnetwork.eth.limo as an active crypto-scam domain mimicking a legitimate token launch. The site lures visitors with promises of free flares tokens in exchange for a small wallet deposit, a classic fake giveaway tactic used to steal cryptocurrency. Once funds are sent, victims receive nothing in return, and the scammers disappear with the stolen assets. This type of fraud is especially dangerous because it exploits the hype around new blockchain projects, tricking users into believing they’re participating in an official airdrop or presale. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after VirusTotal returned 0/95 detections as of the latest scan, meaning no antivirus engines currently recognize it as malicious. The site resolves to IP address 3.135.72.151 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. While the exact creation date and registrar details aren’t provided in the available data, the absence of detections suggests this scam is relatively new or has evaded detection through subtle obfuscation. The use of the .eth.limo subdomain mimics decentralized naming conventions, further adding to its deceptive appearance. If you visited flaresnetwork.eth.limo, do not connect your wallet or enter any personal information. Disconnect your device from the internet and run a full antivirus scan. Check your wallet transaction history for any unauthorized transfers and revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using tools like revoke.cash. Report the domain to your antivirus provider, the hosting provider (AWS in this case, based on the IP range), and consider filing a complaint with the FBI IC3 or your local cybercrime unit. Avoid similar sites by verifying any crypto project through official channels and never trust unsolicited links promising free tokens. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 222b13a67ab05b9676c63a99f0e70e53 TLS cert SHA-256: 80cb4b120e5ac49f8bdb1921c12091e660a010df74eb6a6831d2a3816298078a ## 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/flaresnetwork.eth.limo/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flaresnetwork.eth.limo 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.
