## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-11 03:44:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies phase2-flare.foundation as a recently activated crypto drainer posing as Flare Network infrastructure. This domain is engineered to trick users into connecting wallets under the guise of 'Phase 2' incentives or airdrops, where approved transactions can silently drain tokens or NFTs without additional confirmations. The threat actor leverages urgency and technical branding to bypass user skepticism, capitalizing on the credibility of the Flare ecosystem.  This domain was flagged for crypto drainer activity and placed on 2 security blocklists. It resolves to IP 104.21.35.164 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (issued May 10, 2026). The domain is registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and currently shows 0 detections on VirusTotal out of 95 engines. Notably, it is already blocked by MetaMask and the SEAL security system, indicating proactive detection by browser-based crypto defenses.  If you visited phase2-flare.foundation, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any unauthorized smart contract approvals using tools like Etherscan’s Approval Checker or Revoke.cash. Do not interact with any prompts or wallet connection requests from this domain. Monitor your wallet transactions and report suspicious activity to your wallet provider or security team.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260511-A25B62
Favicon MD5:       dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec
TLS cert SHA-256:      8b91e3ef7f3fd95f2c6c2941b1689a0b069942c37078c1b12ed91d7f46e82246

## 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.
