# PhishDestroy threat dossier — flintguard.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 20:30:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/flintguard.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["carla.ns.cloudflare.com", "west.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-08 Page title: 403 Forbidden ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b90d2531a3b95bd5c51e3c52efb49845e3ad2bfbbe03a6dcf18c5e4104cfdc15 ## 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: 2026-04-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-09 00:22:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-08 21:24:05 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:27:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d6ef9-3ca6-70ff-9bfa-f2a8e347b787/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5afb88c5-2fbc-4387-859b-8318dbaa0612 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flintguard.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flintguard.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flintguard.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flintguard.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flintguard.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-09 00:24:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Domain flintguard.com has been classified as a generic_phishing site targeting unsuspecting users via a convincing fake login portal designed to harvest credentials. Intelligence indicates the threat actor is using this domain to impersonate a legitimate brand or service, tricking visitors into submitting login details under false pretenses. No specific drainer kit payloads or advanced malware droppers were identified in the initial analysis, but the domain’s sole purpose appears to be credential theft through social engineering and deceptive UI mimicry. Technical analysis reveals flintguard.com was registered through NAMECHEAP INC and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain activated its SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt on registration, likely to enhance legitimacy in user perception. Domain creation timestamp is April 08, 2026, indicating rapid deployment and possible connection to a larger campaign. Current VirusTotal detection stands at 0/95 engines as of the latest scan, meaning the domain remains undetected by antivirus or browser security systems. Despite this, the domain’s very recent creation and lack of historical reputation make it an active threat vector. It has not yet been included in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) lists or major blocklists, placing users at higher immediate risk. PhishDestroy flagged flintguard.com as an active threat under investigation; status remains active with unique seed identifier 404a71. Response teams are tracking propagation via web crawlers and user reports. Although no current blocklist inclusion exists, proactive blocking by security solutions is recommended due to the domain’s malicious intent profile. Risk level remains classified as under_investigation pending deeper forensic analysis—however, the absence of detections and high-risk indicators (e.g., recent domain, no GSB block, SSL-enabled) justify an elevated caution level. Users are advised to avoid accessing flintguard.com and verify any link through PhishDestroy’s real-time scanner. Organizations are urged to update network blocklists and security policies to include this domain immediately to prevent credential harvesting incidents. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260408-0687F1 Favicon MD5: 7a3ef4f5f8a6165e414b540930c7915b TLS cert SHA-256: b90d2531a3b95bd5c51e3c52efb49845e3ad2bfbbe03a6dcf18c5e4104cfdc15 ## 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/flintguard.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flintguard.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.
