# PhishDestroy threat dossier — launch-flarefoundation.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 07:51:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/launch-flarefoundation.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: 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: 2026-07-11 Expires: 2027-07-11 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: 2026-07-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-11 16:01:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-13 02:00:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5179-f67f-70ce-a02d-e761f63f3653/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/57dd47c4-db3e-414c-8429-2062bc8c657a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/launch-flarefoundation.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.launch-flarefoundation.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=launch-flarefoundation.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/launch-flarefoundation.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/launch-flarefoundation.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-11 16:32:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, launch-flarefoundation.live, is identified as a crypto drainer, a type of threat designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims' wallets. Unlike generic phishing, crypto drainers specifically target digital asset holders by tricking them into connecting their wallets to malicious smart contracts or fake platforms. Once connected, these threats automatically initiate unauthorized transactions, draining funds without the user's knowledge or consent. The risk is particularly high for individuals interacting with decentralized finance (DeFi) or non-custodial wallet services, where manual recovery of stolen assets is often impossible. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on July 11, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, suggesting it may still evade detection by some security tools. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is currently active, appearing on three security blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask and SEAL. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. If you have visited launch-flarefoundation.live or interacted with any content hosted on this domain, immediate action is required. First, disconnect any wallets or accounts linked to the site and revoke any smart contract approvals using a trusted blockchain explorer. Next, scan your device for malware using updated security software to ensure no additional threats were introduced. Monitor your cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. Report the domain to your wallet provider or exchange to assist in broader threat mitigation efforts. Given the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions, vigilance and prompt response are critical to minimizing potential losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-7356BD 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/launch-flarefoundation.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=launch-flarefoundation.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.
